The home mortgage process can take anywhere from weeks to several months, depending on factors such as the type of loan, the current housing market, and the complexity of your financial situation. We value your time, and our mortgage lenders in Sterling will work closely with you so you get a timely solution.

The interest rate on a home mortgage is determined by factors such as your credit score, down payment, loan amount, and current market conditions. If you are looking for a mortgage broker in Sterling you can skip this process, and our mortgage lenders can help you understand your rate and loan options directly. Ready to get started? Take the first step by getting pre-approved for a home mortgage loan.

The process to get mortgage pre-approval is where a mortgage lender like Midland States Banks reviews your finances and credit history to determine the maximum amount they would be willing to lend you for a home purchase. It’s important to get pre-approved for a mortgage before house-hunting so you know what price range to focus on and can show sellers you’re a serious buyer.

The most common types of home mortgages include fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages, FHA loans, and VA loans. Our mortgage lenders are here to help you meet your goals and will be by your side throughout the home buying process. You will work directly with us rather than through mortgage brokers.

SBA loans, or Small Business Administration loans, are financing options backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, aimed at providing affordable and accessible funding to small businesses. These loans are designed to support small businesses that may not qualify for traditional bank loans due to limited collateral or credit history. As a Preferred SBA Lender, we can help determine if an SBA loan is right for you and provide quicker funding than other lenders who do not have a Preferred Lender designation.

Yes, Midland is an SBA Preferred Lender. We're dedicated to helping small businesses obtain financing with loans ranging from $25,000 to $5 Million in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa. We are proud to offer SBA lending services to a diverse array of business categories, aims, and sectors, including women-owned businesses, minority-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, business acquisitions, franchises, manufacturing, healthcare (medical, dental, chiropractic), service companies, self-storage companies, preschools and daycares, carwashes, solar, wind, and renewable energy, established commercial trucking businesses, auto repair shops, and more.

The SBA only designates a Preferred Lender Program (PLP) status to certain lenders under very stringent guidelines. Once the lender receives the PLP status, the SBA provides the bank with delegated authority to approve the loan. For borrowers, this means faster turnaround times with a local community focus. Additionally, commitment letters can be processed quickly whereas it may take non-preferred lenders a lengthier process to vet out the request. Non-preferred lenders must submit their application packages to the SBA for processing approval. This extra step can add several weeks to the overall process.

Merchant Services can enable your business to accept various forms of electronic payment, including credit and debit cards. Credit card payment processing can expand your customer base, increase sales, and improve convenience for your customers.

If you want to accept credit cards at your business, our experts can provide detailed information on Merchant Services, including how they work, their benefits, and the different options available to you.
