Debt financing beyond SBA loan

Looking to connect with Searchers, or intermediaries, that have secured debt financing beyond the $5M SBA loan.
I have recently kicked off a self-funded, partnered search, and we are targeting companies with $2-3M EBITDA. Our goal is to minimize outside equity injection and maximize debt financing and want to learn about our options for conventional debt financing.

I’d appreciate any insights from your experience or if you’d be available for a quick call. Thanks!

In this size range, also worth speaking with the SBA lenders who will do pari passu loans above the $5M SBA cap (typically up to $7-8M in total debt). I'm sure there are more out there, but Live Oak, Byline, First Bank of the Lake, Ivanhoe Capital Advisors are a few of the ones that do that I'm aware of.

Hi Shahid, we have hundreds of non-SBA lenders (along with 50+ SBA lenders) on our CapFlow platform and are active in M&A conventional lending from $1m to $30m. Feel free to contact me at redacted to discuss.
