I am 3.5 years post acquisition (water treatment space), and I'm exploring commercial business loans to refinance my existing SBA loan. I've heard that certain commercial lenders may be able to offer more competitive rates than SBA lenders (for the the right business!) for loans under $1.5mm. Can any lenders on this platform shine some light on this? Or are there any other operators that have had success refinancing with commercial cash flow lenders?

The refinancing would be in the $1.4mm range. Primary goals with a refinancing would be to 1) lower rates and 2) free up monthly cash flow for growth investments, and 3) add a revolving line of credit to my cap structure to add flexibility.

All feedback appreciated!
