Hi everyone, I’m currently evaluating a home services acquisition in California in the ~$2–3M range and expect to move toward an LOI soon. Because of my immigration status, SBA financing isn’t an option for me right now, so I’m looking to connect with non-SBA lenders, SBIC-backed funds, or private credit providers that are active in this deal size. If anyone here has worked with lenders comfortable financing acquisitions in the $1.5M–$2M range, I’d really appreciate any recommendations or introductions. Happy to share more details privately if helpful. Thanks in advance! Vishwas Patil

Hey @redacted‌! I hear you. I’m in the same predicament here in Australia. Fortunately for you in the US, the options a numerous. In my global M&A group, we recently had a funding strategist in one of our meetings. Her name is Ashley Wyrd. She was super helpful, knowledgeable, and very approachable. She might be able to give you some valuable ideas for your situation. I’ll private DM you with her details. Hope that helps Vishwas.
