How this ranking is built
CapBench analysis of public SBA 7(a) lending records — these lenders are ranked by typical (average) funded loan size from public SBA 7(a) records, among lenders with at least 25 funded loans. We report the typical (not the median-of-medians) figure, exclude mega-bank call-center lenders, and never sell ranking position. “Best” is still deal-specific: the right lender is the one already funding deals like yours, priced at or under the rate cap.

Common questions
How large can an SBA 7(a) loan be?
The 7(a) program caps at $5 million. The lenders here write the largest typical loans in their public records, so they routinely handle deals near the top of that range.
Why pick a large-loan lender?
A lender that regularly funds big 7(a) deals already has the underwriting muscle and appetite for one. A bank whose typical loan is $150K may balk at a $3M acquisition, even if you qualify.
Is a bigger lender always better for a big loan?
Not necessarily — fit beats size. The right lender is the one already funding deals your size in your industry and state, priced at or under the rate cap. Use this list as a starting point, then compare offers.
