You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Non-SBA Lenders for C&I Businesses (Working Capital / Acquisitions)

Commercial & Industrial Lenders.

I have a commercial loan broker license and specialize in helping (new and existing) business owners acquire cashflow businesses.

I attended commercial lending conference recently, but most of the lenders were SBA loans. We're avoiding SBA lenders.

Could anyone recommend Non-SBA Lenders for C&I Businesses?

Try speaking to Live Oak Bank. They do both SBA and C&I simultaneously in transactions where the limits exceed SBA requirements, and do full transactions with only C&I loans. We are doing a closing with one like that currently. Helps close the deals that otherwise would not qualify in other banks in their C&I groups.

Thanks Stephen. I met with an executive from Live Oak Bank a few months ago. He said they're primary SBA. It seems like the primary loan is SBA. If loan amount exceeds SBA, then C&I kicks in as a subsequent loan, not as the primary.

Please clarify.
