85,000 SBA 7(a) and 504 loans were funded in a single fiscal year. That's a lot of capital moving.

But volume alone doesn't tell advisors what they need. The more useful question is what the funded deals had in common: industry, loan size, transaction type, borrower profile?

That's the data that helps you position a client's deal, not just the total dollars deployed.

For those advising clients on financing, what's one pattern you've noticed in what's getting approved?

Referring a client out feels risky if you don't know what happens next. That's the most common hesitation we hear from lender partners.

Here's how we try to remove that uncertainty: an initial read within 48 hours, and you're kept in the loop the entire way, not just notified at closing.

Referring a deal shouldn't feel like handing off a black box. It should feel like adding a specialist to your team for that one transaction.

What's the one thing a referral partner has to get right for you to send them a second deal?

An online fitness business in Virginia needed financing for an acquisition. E-commerce is a category many traditional lenders won't consider.

The client was referred to us because we work with lending partners who do finance e-commerce businesses.

$2,257,000 SBA 7(a) financing secured for the purchase.

A business model isn't a red flag. It just needs to be matched with a lender that understands it.

What kind of business have you seen struggle to find financing just because of its model?

A business owner in South Carolina wanted to buy an exterior painting contracting business. A traditional lender had turned them down, and they had limited experience in the industry.

They were referred to us, and we structured the request in a way that could get to a yes.

$1,090,000 SBA 7(a) financing secured for our client.

Limited experience doesn't have to mean no financing. It means the deal has to be structured well and matched with a lender that looks at the transaction as a whole.

What's a deal you've seen declined that deserved a second look?

Referring a deal you can't fund doesn't mean losing the client. It means becoming the person they call first, because you always have an answer.

Lenders and brokers send us deals that fall outside their credit box all the time, and placing them with the right non-bank lender is what we do. The client stays connected to the relationship that brought them to us.

When a deal doesn't fit your credit box, what would you need from a referral partner before passing it along?

If you're waiting until underwriting to find out whether the structure works, you're already late.

This is where a lot of SBA deals lose valuable time.

The lender raises questions. The broker goes back to the borrower. More information comes in. The structure changes. Underwriting reviews the file again.

Suddenly, what looked like a straightforward submission has turned into another round of analysis.

A better approach is to pressure-test the structure before the file ever reaches underwriting. You won't anticipate every question, but the obvious ones shouldn't be surprises.

At OSBC, we spend a lot of time looking at the deal from the lender's perspective before submission. That upfront work can make the difference between a file that moves and one that keeps circling back.

The goal isn't to eliminate questions. It's to eliminate avoidable ones.

The right lender matters as much as the right deal.

Not because the lender can override underwriting.
They can't.

It matters because lenders develop expertise through repetition.

They know the industries they finance.
They know the structures they are comfortable with.
They know what their credit teams will question.
They know where they have appetite.

That's why lender selection is more than shopping for a rate.

It's matching a transaction to a lending environment where it makes sense.

Choosing an SBA lender after the deal is structured is backwards.

Lender selection should be part of the conversation much earlier because the lender can influence how the transaction is approached from the start.

Different lenders have different appetites for industries, loan sizes, acquisitions, ownership structures, and levels of complexity. That can affect how a deal is framed, which assumptions receive the most scrutiny, how much complexity a lender is willing to take on, and which structures are considered viable.

At OSBC, lender selection is part of the advisory process for exactly this reason. We look at the transaction first, then consider which lending environment is the best fit for it.

The right lender doesn’t fix a weak deal.

But the wrong lender can make a workable deal unnecessarily difficult.

A bigger lender pool doesn’t necessarily make financing easier.

In some ways, it makes the market harder to navigate.

More lenders means more credit philosophies, more industry preferences, and more definitions of what fits inside a lender’s box.

That can be a real advantage for a borrower or broker, if you know how to navigate it.

The opportunity isn't simply having more lenders to choose from.

It’s knowing which lender is actually built for the transaction in front of you.

More options create more opportunity. But only if you know where to look.

The best SBA submission isn’t the one with the most documents. It’s the one that answers the lender’s questions before they ask them.

A strong submission should make the deal easy to understand. Where does repayment come from? Why does the structure make sense? What are the key risks? How is the borrower contributing? And what happens if projections fall short?

When those questions are addressed upfront, underwriting spends less time trying to reconstruct the transaction and more time evaluating whether it works.

That isn’t about making a file look better. It’s about presenting the economics clearly enough that the lender can understand the deal without having to piece it together.

In SBA lending, clarity is part of the structure.
