Registered Pool Assembler
In short
A financial institution approved by the SBA to create "pools" of SBA-guaranteed loans for sale on the secondary market. They package the guaranteed portions of loans.
What it means in a deal
While you won't directly interact with a Registered Pool Assembler, they play a role in the broader SBA loan ecosystem. Your lender might sell the guaranteed portion of your loan to one, which can free up capital for them to make more SBA loans. This doesn't affect your loan terms.
