What we don't know
- Whether First Merchants Bank is taking new SBA 504 loans today, or how it would treat a business like yours.
- Loans that were never completed. The SBA file lists approvals, and this page leaves out the ones it marks cancelled.
- The borrower, the address and every term beyond rate and term. The public file does not show them.
