Currently looking into a business with revenue streams from creditworthy customers and solid existing banking relationships.
There are some interesting non-SBA options, from traditional lenders to SBIC. I would like to get the perspectives of others with experience engaging with a company's existing banking relationships to finance the acquisition of the company.
As a side note, I am also open to connect with more SBIC lenders.
