Curious to hear from entrepreneurs and searchers: what was the main driver that made you pursue entrepreneurship? Was it a specific experience, a mentor, dissatisfaction with corporate life, or the desire to build something of your own?

Hi Anon - nice to meet you. I can speak from my experience as an SBA loan broker working with buyers every day. Most of the people I work with fall into one of three buckets: They're done with corporate life. They want to own something, build equity, and create generational wealth for their family instead of building it for someone else. They already worked in the industry and genuinely love the work. They just want to do it for themselves now. They've done their homework. They've talked to owners, researched the industry, and decided this is what they want to do. What a lot of people don't realize is how accessible business ownership actually is. With an SBA loan, you can acquire a business with as little as 10% down, sometimes even 5%. The financing is there if the deal makes sense. It's really about finding the right lender for the right deal, which is what we do every day. We have a lot experience financing various companies via the SBA. If you ever need help reviewing a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min. Look forward to chatting!
