Examples

• SBA 7a loan was provided for a $3,000,000 business acquisition with only goodwill and equipment. (Small amount of personal assets and real estate pledged).
• A customer was on a rent-to-own arrangement with his landlord and had the opportunity to purchase the building. The customer had two bankruptcies during the past 25 years, but we were still able to get a $940,000 loan to finish this purchase. We used prior rent-to-own payments as his cash injection, so no money was needed to put down on this transaction.
• A brother and sister were given the opportunity to acquire a store they had managed for a combined 39 years. They received an SBA 7a loan for $1,200,000 in spite of weak personal financials.
• A convenient store referred to us by an asset resolution department refinanced $1,300,000 via SBA 7a.
• A $500,000 exterior corridor hotel was acquired via SBA 7a loan.
• We assisted a restaurant with a $1.9MM SBA 7a loan to purchase a building, allowing them to expand their business from lunch only to full service.
