The Indiana District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recognized lenders that have helped Indiana small businesses. In fiscal year 2014, SBA guaranteed 1,366 loans totaling $468,426,000 for Indiana small businesses.

This year the SBA Indiana District Office added a new recipient category for the SBA Lender Awards. The SBA Indiana District Director’s Award is presented to an SBA participant that has demonstrated outstanding partnership with the SBA in a manner that may not be as objective to quantify as the most number of one type of loan or the highest dollar volume of a particular type of loan. Our inaugural winner for fiscal year 2014 is MainSource Bank.
