Debt options for acquiring a non-US company

Looking at a business that is not based in the US but is run remotely.  Most of their customers are in the US.  Knowing that an SBA loan requires the business to be US based, what debt options might there be to make an offer?

II did have one deal where it was a manufacturer in Spain that wanted to sell its distribution rights in the US. Instead of selling that division the buyer set up a wholesale contract with the seller and we financed the starting working capital and initial orders. I wonder if there would be a way to become a "middleman" for the company and once you do xx of business the rights are yours. Alternatively is there a way to move the company to the US? I don't know how the SBA would want to verify financials however.

Where is the business incorporated? Where are employees located and where are the existing owners of the business located?
