SBA Loan size

Hello,

I am a solo searcher looking at businesses in the $250,000 - $450,000 range. I'm wondering what the lowest amount loan size I could get from an SBA lender is?

Is $250k-450k too small and would some SBA lensers nit waste their time on this?

This loan size can be tricky given the costs that are involved in doing an acquisition. However, I feel the benefits of the longer term with SBA still makes the 7a program a great fit for loans under $500,000. I am always happy to look at the transaction and provide you with a funding scenario. I am a loan officer at Live Oak Bank on a team that is focused on providing SBA financing across all industries nationwide. Live Oak is the #1 SBA 7(a) lender by dollar volume amount for FY 2021 andredactedFeel free to reach out redacted

It's not only about the loan size...it's also about the seller. At that price range, there's a good chance the seller might get a cash offer and might not want to gown the SBA route.
