Is there a guidepost for the minimum size business a bank will lend to without collateral or PG behind hit?  For example, $200k annual EBITDA / SDE delivered over the past 5 years.  I imagine it varies by business and also by lender, but any general guidance is much appreciated.

Thank you all!

For small businesses, the SBA will grant loans like this without collateral. They will ask for a PG.

All lender have different guidelines so this would fit somewhere. We stay above a $500,000 loan amount but there are many lenders that will go lower. Reach out if you need some assistance. I'm happy to help.

Live Oak Bank is a cashflow lender on asset-lite transactions. We don't have any stated maximum goodwill limitations. We're a nationwide SBA and conventional lender. The nation's #1 SBA lender, by the way. For Non-recourse lending with EBITDA's of this smaller size, we'd likely provide lower turn's of EBITDA and we'd want to be comfortable with the sponsor.
