Conventional Loan Options

I'm exploring a company that recently became profitable after a long COVID recovery. This won't be a fit for the SBA, so I'd like to explore a conventional loan backed by the assets of the business for the upfront payment (there will be a large seller note for the remaining). The business has roughly $1M in hard assets and contractual recurring revenue.

The loan would be for 400k-500k.

Does anyone know lenders that may be a good fit?

Why do you feel it would not be a good loan for an SBA lender? Because of the downward trend the business took because of COVID? You can do turnarounds with SBA, we do them all the time... Can you provide more details?
