Would anyone be able to recommend SBA lenders with M&A financing experience? I'm chatting with Live Oak Bank this week and am looking for other banks or specialty finance companies that are both in the SBA Preferred Lender Program (PLP) and have extensive experience providing financing to searchers.

Thanks, Darrin and Scott. Quick follow-up question: can you solicit term sheets from multiple lenders after getting a signed LOI to begin diligence? Or, do you have to work exclusively with one lender?

Also, for anyone who stumbles on this post, I found the following list of the top 100 SBA lenders by loan volume: https://fitsmallbusiness.com/best-sba-lender/

Hi all,

I highly recommend Pattie Ehsaei & Marina Naya. They helped finance our acquisition (term loan, permanent capital, LoC etc.). They are very entrepreneurial, creative and highly attentive to their cient needs.

Please all feel free to reach out to them below and you can say David Eshaghian recommended you to their team:
