Buy-Side Fees/SBA Loans

by a searcher from George Washington University

Hello, I'm evaluating a platform that charges a buy-side fee if we close a deal that they sourced.

Does anyone know if you can roll up the buy-side success fee into an SBA loan as part of "closing fees"?

Thomas, BD licensing is not longer required for smaller deals (less than $250M in rev or $25M in EBITDA on transactions for more then a 20% of the equity) at a federal level, but the rules still apply on a state by state basis where some states require RE licenses.
