FAIRFAX, Va., March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MainStreet Bancshares, Inc., (Nasdaq: MNSB) parent company of MainStreet Bank announced that MainStreet Bank has been designated as a Preferred Lender with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

MainStreet Bank's designation as a preferred lender places us among SBA's best lenders and empowers the bank with fully delegated lending authority. The Bank is already an authorized SBA Express lender.  The Preferred Lender status is only given to Banks with a proven track record of successfully processing and servicing SBA-guaranteed loans.  Other factors that are taken into consideration include performance, loan volume, and a clear knowledge of SBA policies and procedures.

Advantages of our SBA Preferred Lender status include:

• Faster turnaround time,
• proven track record,
