Ryan was wonderful. He is a problem solver, truly wants to work with you and help you succeed. He is knowledgeable and realistic. He takes the time to think outside of the box and commits the time that other will not. Ryan is great and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a SBA loan/service in this realm.

Ryan took his time to explain the SBA process thoroughly.  He was also available in person or by phone to provide additional advice and support as needed.  During our loan approval process, the Silicon Valley Bank collapse/crisis caused our lender to reassess its lending practices and change the structure of our deal which would have made it difficult to complete our business acquisition.  Ryan quickly went to work and secured us four other lenders within a week.  As a result, we were able to pick another lender that met our requirements and closed the deal quickly.  I highly recommend Ryan and we will use Ryan for our next business acquisition!!

Ryan Smith was the most pleasant and reliable part of this process for Meals on Wheels San Diego County. As a nonprofit serving thousands of homebound seniors across San Diego County each day, it was so important to us to engage with somebody with the highest of ethical standards and professionalism, and we do believe we got that with Ryan. Thank you for the wonderful service!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SBA Central help me find an SBA Lender?

SBA Central partners with SBA lenders who offer unmatched expertise in structuring SBA-guaranteed loans for our clients.

Is there a cost to your service?

Our standard fee agreement includes a 1% fee based on the total loan amount, which is earned only after the loan is funded—not before. This means we do not charge any upfront fees. Our goals are aligned with yours, ensuring that we work together in good faith toward the same successful outcome!

What is the process to submit a loan?

- We'll schedule a call to learn more about your financing needs.
- Using the information provided, we'll advise you on your options.
- We'll develop a strategy to move forward with our plan.
- We'll present your file to multiple banks.
- We'll leverage our network to obtain multiple offers.
- We'll negotiate strategically to secure the best possible financial solution for you.

Are you a direct lender or a loan brokerage?

We partner with finance brokers and are not a direct lender.

What down payment do I need for most SBA Loans?

A safe rule of thumb is 10% - 20% down payment. However, the SBA provides various alternatives to make access to funding equitable for all who qualify.

What types of loans does SBA Central fund?

SBA Central specializes in assisting clients with SBA 7(a) loans for business acquisition, partner buyouts, partial changes of ownership, debt refinancing, and start-up or expansion working capital. We also offer expertise in SBA 504 and conventional owner-occupied real estate loans.

Why should I use SBA Central instead of my bank?

SBA Central connects your business with financing experts who work to provide you with multiple options. Choosing a single bank often limits you to one, or even no, offer. This approach takes away your ability to negotiate and choose the best option for your business. If you're not approved, you have to restart the process with a new bank. By working with SBA Central, you’re in a stronger position to find the best financing solution for your business.

How is SBA Central better than similiar services?

SBA Central and our partners have extensive experience in understanding how banks underwrite their loans. Our experts prepare your file and present it in the best possible light, minimizing the chances of future challenges that could delay loan funding.In cases where no bank is willing to provide financing, we have in-house private capital available to offer our clients the solutions they need.

How does SBA Central save me money?

We leverage our extensive network of banks, which offer us preferred rates due to the volume of loans we handle.By presenting the loan to multiple banks simultaneously, we receive multiple offers.Having multiple offers keeps the banks accountable.We negotiate fees and rates on behalf of our clients.We possess insider knowledge that allows us to identify opportunities to reduce expenses for our clients.
