Windsor BankLink FAQ
What are the benefits of Windsor’s BankLink solution?
Not all banks have the same credit appetite, and some specialize in specific industry niches. Our network helps you to find the best option based on your unique financing needs, allowing you to borrower more, pay less, improve your experience and expedite the process.
Is the prequalification contact form an official loan application?
The prequalification contact form is used to gather high-level information for our team to review and find a potential institutional match. If a match is identified, you will submit your official loan application and related business documentation through a separate online portal housed on one our lending partners’ websites.
How are matches determined and are they guaranteed?
Several factors are considered, including, but not limited to, borrower location, intended use of proceeds, personal credit score range, years in business and industry. Windsor understands its various lender profiles and credit appetites and will quickly work to find the best match for your business. Not all prospective borrowers are guaranteed to match since there are general requirements set forth by the SBA to obtain financing.
What are the SBA’s requirements to secure financing?
The SBA requires entrepreneurs to meet a few basic criteria to qualify for financing. Generally speaking, borrowers must, a) be considered a small business by the SBA, b) operate for profit, c) use the funds for an eligible use, and d) conduct business in the United States or its territories.

Does BankLink only match borrowers in select industries?
Our network spans hundreds of banks with various niches, credit criteria, product offerings and lending footprints. Although many of our lending partners specialize in funding certain industries through the SBA 7(a) Loan Program, Windsor has assisted its financial institutional clients with processing loans for borrowers across more than 880 industries in all 50 states.
What documentation should I have ready for the formal application?
The formal application requires submitting both personal and business tax returns. Most of our bank partners will also want to review a business plan, business financial statements and projections, and resumes for all individuals owning 20% or more of the business. Note, these documents are critical for the initial underwriting process and additional documentation will be requested if approved to receive financing.
Does Windsor receive a referral fee for matching borrowers?
Windsor does not receive any fee from the borrower or its lending partners for coordinating a successful match. Our BankLink solution is meant to help stimulate lending activity among Windsor’s clients while also identifying institutional matches that are in the best interest of the borrower.
