Requested loan amount (Max $5,000,000) *

Name *

First

Last

Email *

Name of your business *

City where business is located *

State where business is located *

Mobile number *

Preferred contact method for bankers (SBAlenders.com uses email)

Email me
Text me
No preference - I check both frequently

Note: SBA lenders will email you within 8 business hours regarding next steps. Once we introduce you to banks, let us know how you want the bankers to contact you.

Use of Funds *

Acquiring a business (requires 10% or more down from Buyer)
Buy Real Estate (Buyer must occupy 51% or more)
Buy Equipment
Refinance Debt
Buy Inventory
Working Capital

Note - SBA rules require real estate purchases to be at least 51% owner-occupied unless a hotel. Our network of SBA lenders are unable to provide SBA real estate loans if owner occupancy in under 51% (e.g., large office building purchase, apartments, vacation rentals, etc.) Hotel loans are fine, however.

Unfortunately, we are unable to assist you at this time. For acquisition loans, the minimum loan with our lending partners is $250,000.

Approximate $$$ value of real estate being purchased with loan proceeds? *

Note: If you are purchasing a business along with real estate, be sure to check "Acquiring a business" above in "Use of Funds."

Approximate $$$ of equipment being purchased with loan proceeds? *

Approximate $$$ of inventory being purchased with loan proceeds? *

Approximate $$$ of debt being refinanced with loan proceeds? *

Is the existing debt you are trying to refinance SBA debt? *

No, the current loan we are trying to refinance isn't an existing SBA loan
Yes, we want to obtain a new SBA loan to replace our existing SBA loan

What interest rate are you paying now? *

Will you consider variable as well as fixed rate loans? *

No, we will only consider a fixed rate loan
Yes, we will consider variable or fixed
No preference / not sure

SBA loans are not permitted to be refinanced by a new SBA loan with our lending partners. However, a borrower can leave an existing SBA loan in place an obtain a new SBA loan. For example, for a $500K new loan request and use of proceeds of $100K to refinance existing SBA debt and $400K for equipment, our lenders would leave the $100K existing SBA loan in place and issue a new SBA loan for $400K. If you are just looking to refinance SBA debt with SBA debt, we are unable to assist.

If refinancing to save on interest, note here are the recent Q1 average rates charged by SBA banks: Loans under $150K- 8.1%; $150K- $350K - 6.8%; over $350K- 6.3%

If you are currently paying under 6% for the debt you are looking to refinance, our SBA lender network will not be able to assist and we recommend looking elsewhere.

Acquisition purchase price for the business? *

Note: Maximum SBA banks will lend is 75% - 90% of purchase price.

Estimate of your personal liquidity % (i.e., cash, stocks, bonds, retirement savings divided by loan amount ) before this loan. *

10% or less (liquid assets / loan amount)
10% to 20%
Over 20%

We are unable to assist you at this time for your acquisition of a business as our lending partners will want to see ~ 20% personal liquidity (10% down for the business plus another 10% in personal reserves). If you have other investors/partners who could contribute to the down payment, that may help but based solely on your stated liquidity position coupled with the fact that you are acquiring a business we are not able to assist you currently.

Have you received at least 2 years' tax returns or financial statements for the business you are buying? *

Yes, we have reviewed tax returns and/or financials and understand the profitability of the business
No, we do not have tax returns and/or financials but have requested them
No, still in early stages and have not requested tax and/or financial documents

On average for the past 2 years plus the estimate for this year was the net income per year (revenues - all expenses) for the acquisition business at least 15% or more of the requested loan amount? *

Yes, net income per year was >18% of the requested loan amount
No, net income per year was <18% of the requested loan amount

Profitability for past two years plus this year *

How much direct experience do you have in the industry of the business you are acquiring? *

No experience in the industry of the business I'm acquiring
< 1 year
1 - 2 years
2 - 4 years
5+ years

Do you have a signed agreement with the Seller (e.g., an LOI or APA) that specifies the deal terms? *

Yes, we have a signed Asset or Stock Purchase Agreement
Yes, we have a signed Letter of Intent
No, but we have verbally agreed on economic deal terms
No, still in early stages
I don't understand this question

Is the business generating monthly profits >1.5% of the requested loan amount (e.g, $100,000 loan = $1,500 or more in monthly profits) *

Yes, monthly profits are greater than 1.5% of the requested loan
No, our average profits are less than 1.5% of the requested loan
Don't know what our cash flow numbers are

How long has the business existed? (If an acquisition, how long has the target been in business) *

< 1 year
1 - 2 years
2 - 3 years
3 - 5 years
5+ years

At this time we are unable to refer businesses with less than one year of profitable operating experience to any lenders in our network (unless an acquisition with 3+ years of operating history).

Your credit score *

Any personal or business bankruptcies within the last 5 years for any owner of 20%+of the business? *

Any active lawsuits (including divorce), open judgements or outstanding tax or other liens for the business or 20%+ owners? *

Business description *

How many banks do you want to contact you *

3 or more banks

** Note: On average an SBA loan will take a minimum of 30 days to close AFTER you have provided the bank with a "full file" - all the information that bank has requested. Some SBA loans may take 60+ days to close so plan accordingly.
