How to Raise Debt for a non-SBA eligible Deal?

I am looking at a foreign entity that will require ~$1m (USD) in debt to get done (I have the equity, just need debt). Because it is not US-domiciled, it is ineligible for an SBA loan. Any recommendations how to get the funding?

Hi Jacob - curious to see if you found this funding, and if you were able to close the deal. Particularly, if pipe.com or Boopos were helpful at all? Thanks.

Hey Brian interesting comment that lenders want previous operating experience, do you know whether they want operating experience on acquisitions specifically, or operating experience on any business?
