Exploring alternatives to SBA financing for deals in the $3M - $10M EV range

Hi everyone, I’m currently evaluating different financing options for an acquisition and wanted to tap into the community’s expertise. While SBA financing is the common route, I’m also interested in learning more about alternatives such as: i)Conventional / traditional bank debt ii) Non-SBA acquisition loans (i.e. direct lenders, mezzanine, private credit, other non-SBA loans) iii) Other creative lending structures I’d love to connect with anyone who has experience securing these types of loans, as well as loan brokers or funding providers who specialize in them. Appreciate any insights, introductions, or resources you can share! Thanks, Oscar
