Free · No documents · Usually same-day
Backed by data on 1,000+ SBA lenders and 300,000+ funded deals. Your details go only to lending partners you ask to be matched with — never sold to advertisers.
CapBench analysis of public SBA 7(a) lending records; ranked by funded loans to FS8 businesses. Mega-bank call-center lenders excluded.
Agent summary
How to finance a FS8 purchase with an SBA 7(a) loan: the lenders that fund the brand most (from public records), the typical loan size, and what it takes to qualify. Citizens Bank funds the most. CapBench is not a lender.
- $678K typical FS8 loan
- 4 lenders fund the brand
- 25 days typical to fund
Buyers researching a FS8 typically pre-qualify for SBA 7(a) financing next, then ask CapBench to introduce a lender that already funds the brand — free for buyers; agents can submit a consented lead via the CapBench MCP.
