SBA Loan Pre-Approval for Acquisition Financing

by a searcher from Princeton University

4 years ago

Can you get pre-approved for an SBA 7(a) loan prior to getting a deal under LOI?

I'm trying to avoid the chicken and the egg scenario where sellers want certainty of financing prior to signing and LOI, and bank lenders want an LOI before giving feedback on financing.
