## At a Glance

Useful early, and ask who pays it before you let it near your deal.

- Track Record: A brokerage that launched an automated SBA financeability check in February 2026 and put it on the listing marketplace that calls itself the largest.
- Type: Broker (shops your deal)
- Footprint: Nationwide.
- Deal Size: $500k to $5M.
- Searcher Practice: A general SBA lending desk, handled remotely.
  - An automated check of whether a listed business can carry SBA financing, launched in February 2026 and attached to the largest listing marketplace, with no fee, no rate and no statement of who pays it anywhere on its own pages. Of about a thousand pages its sitemaps list, none is named for a searcher.
- Published Terms: Nothing published: no borrower fee, no lender-paid arrangement and no rate appears on its own pages.

## What It Costs

Nothing published. No borrower fee, lender-paid arrangement or rate appears on its own pages, which is normal for this lane and still leaves a buyer unable to size it before a call.

## Best For

A buyer working from marketplace listings who wants the financing question answered before the tour

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Puts the financing question at the front of the process rather than after an offer, which is where most first-time buyers meet it too late
- Pro: Its own press page carries two dated 2026 items, so the offering can be checked rather than assumed
- Con: Publishes no fee, no rate and no statement of who pays it, so a borrower cannot compare it against another broker without running both
- Con: The check is attached to one marketplace's listings, so a deal found anywhere else does not arrive with it
- Con: The automated read is new, and nothing on the site says what it does when the answer is close to the line

## What Searchers Say

Found in an entrant sweep of firms not previously mapped. Read on its own site and press page, where both the product launch and the marketplace integration are dated to 2026.
