The Huntington National Bank alone writes 50% of the SBA loans in Michigan. That is worth knowing both ways — they clearly know this market, and you should still get a second quote, because a dominant lender has little reason to sharpen its pencil.

Volume is not quality — but a lender who does hundreds of deals in your state knows your market, and probably your industry too.

If your need sits in a band that barely exists here, widen your search to national lenders rather than assuming nobody will do it.
