SBA loans
SBA loans are partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, which lets lenders offer better terms to small businesses. The most common program is the SBA 7(a), which covers up to $5 million for real estate, equipment, refinancing, or working capital. Another option is the SBA 504, designed for owner-occupied commercial property and heavy equipment.
We broker both. That means we match your business to lenders who underwrite SBA deals, then guide the application from start to close. We don't lend the money ourselves.
SBA loans
West Hartford's mix of retail corridors and professional services creates steady demand for long-term capital. A restaurant expanding along Farmington Avenue might use a 7(a) loan to buy kitchen equipment and cover tenant improvements. A medical practice near the University of Hartford could finance a building purchase with a 504 loan, preserving cash for payroll and inventory.
SBA loans work when you need a large amount, want a fixed rate, or lack the equity for a conventional bank loan. The application takes longer than a working capital line, but the payoff is a decade or more of predictable payments.

We start by listening. You tell us what you're buying, building, or refinancing. We review your financials, then present lender options that fit your industry and credit profile. We assemble the application package, liaise with underwriters, and keep the process moving.
Because we're a broker, we have access to multiple SBA lenders. If one says no, we pivot to another. You get more chances and less legwork.

A family-owned HVAC contractor near Elmwood wants to buy the building it currently rents.
