Pursuit
At a Glance
The first call for a Northeast buyer who wants a mission lender, or whom a conventional bank has passed on.
- Pricing
- Custom Pricing, Loan products (no fee to engage). SBA 7(a) up to $5M with a 10% acquisition down payment, plus 504 and microloan programs; a mission lender that also serves borrowers conventional banks decline. Rates and terms quoted per deal; confirm directly.
- Best For
- Buyers in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania, especially women, minority, and veteran owners, who want a mission lender's SBA acquisition financing
Pros and Cons
Pros
- A Community Development Financial Institution with more than fifteen loan programs, so a borrower a conventional bank turns down still has a path
- Runs the full SBA toolkit for acquisitions: 7(a) up to $5M, 504, and microloans, at the standard 10% acquisition down payment
- An explicit focus on women, minority, and veteran business owners, a lane most acquisition lenders do not emphasize
- Listed among the top SBA 7(a) lenders alongside Live Oak, Byline, Huntington, and Celtic
Cons
- Regional: it lends only in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, so a deal outside that footprint needs another lender
- As a mission-driven community lender it skews toward smaller loans rather than the combination structures that reach past the $5M 7(a) cap
- Rates and terms are quoted per deal and not published, so a comparison quote is still worth getting
