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.

Pretty simple quite frankly. Go to www..exim.gov and they have lenders who are approved lenders just like for the SBA but for international. They are fixed rates as well.
