Hi, I was curious if anyone has experience with a business broker insisting on you using their SBA banker and how you have approached this. I am open to letting their broker be included but am not sure how I feel about having to use their lender. What are people's thoughts on how to approach this?

Did the broker provide any insight as to why? You could play along and then shop it elsewhere. If you get a better quote, then tell them to either match or you want to use your preferred lender.
