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.

SBA funding for internet businesses

Can anyway provide insight into whether banks will do SBA loans on internet businesses? I imagine it might vary by type (ecommerce, digital goods, saas, online distributor, etc), so any detailed breakdown would be great. I'm considering purchasing an asset-light internet company (think: print on demand), but concerned that without hard assets, it may be harder to get an SBA loan.

Thanks for the tag ^redacted‌. ^redacted‌ An asset-heavy business isn't always a good business. We specialize in cash flow lending and would be happy to discuss further. A lender's decision is driven by the buyer's acumen and experience, financial backing, and the business model's resilience. Contact me at redacted

Yes, you can do SBA loans for internet based businesses. I would love to connect with you and go through the options. Not all lenders will do them, but we have plenty in our network that will. You can reach me here or directly at redacted
