Lender Match
In short
An online referral tool provided by the SBA that connects small businesses with participating SBA lenders. It helps you find banks interested in your loan request.
What it means in a deal
You can use Lender Match to submit a brief loan request, and interested lenders will contact you directly. It's a good starting point to find potential lenders, but don't stop there. Also, reach out to M&A advisors or business brokers for their lender networks.
