Hi - I'm looking to connect with a few SBA 7(a) lenders to learn more about your processes and requirements for small business acquisition lending, as well as to build the relationship. I have a strong finance background with ~10 years in investment banking, with a focus on helping clients across various industries raise debt & equity capital.

If you are open to connecting, please comment or send me a direct message and then we can find some time for an intro call. Happy to share more details about myself and my ETA process when we connect. Thanks!

Haven’t actually done a deal yet but have chatted with several SBA banks and brokers. My general take is the bigger the lender, the more by the book and the smaller regionals are typically a bit more flexible. Brokers like ^redacted‌ , ^redacted‌ , and ^redacted‌ might be able to help and recommend the best lender for your situation.

^redacted‌, thanks for the tag. ^redacted‌, I know you've just been inundated with options. Not to sound like a broken record, but I would put ^redacted‌ and ^redacted‌ on your list - they are helpful even early in the evaluation process. Good luck to you! - JC
