Transitioning from SBA to Conventional Financing

by a searcher from Wheaton College Illinois in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Our group is wrapping up our first acquisition — a ~$4M ($1M SDE) SBA-backed deal — and we’re beginning to explore conventional financing options for future acquisitions. For those who have made the transition from SBA to conventional bank debt, any advice, lender recommendations, or introductions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Jordan, first off, congratulations! I'm in the Charlotte Area, I'd recommend getting in touch with the ACG here to access their directory lenders/investors.
