Hello Community, does anyone know of any SBA lenders who will entertain low-multiple, high cash-flow acquisition opportunities with an enterprise value below $1 Million?

Most local, community and regional banks will do SBA loans under $1,000,000. Look in your local metro area and call your local SBA office (or go online) and search for SBA lenders. Banks look at Debt Service Coverage ratio and don't necessarily care about purchase multiples. If cash flow is high, that's good. If there is no collateral, then you may have to pledge some personal assets but that depends upon the lender. Each one has a little different credit policy when using the SBA program.
