We built the only marketplace where the financing is built in.
Most small-business sales don't die on price. They die on financing — an accepted offer, months of loan applications, and then a bank that says no. Sellers lose a year; buyers lose the business they wanted; everyone loses the deal.
SBAdeals exists to fix exactly that. It's a marketplace where every listing is pre-qualified for SBA 7(a) financing and every buyer knows their real budget before they make an offer — so the day two sides agree, the money is already in motion.
Born inside GoSBA Loans
SBAdeals is a GoSBA Loans company. GoSBA is America's #1 SBA loan broker — 25+ lender partners competing on every deal, a 99.1% approval rate, and over $320M funded.
For years, GoSBA financed acquisitions afterbuyers found a business somewhere else — and watched the same story repeat: great businesses stuck on the market for months because their marketplace couldn't answer the only question that matters — can this deal actually get funded? We built SBAdeals to close that loop. Same underwriting engine, same lender network, applied before the listing goes live instead of after the handshake.
What we believe
Financing first, always
A deal that can't be financed isn't a deal — it's a listing that wastes everyone's year. Every business here is modeled against real SBA 7(a) underwriting before it goes live, and every buyer is pre-qualified before they reach a seller.
Verified beats self-reported
Our team reconciles stated financials against source documents and publishes the DSCR math openly on every listing. If the numbers don't hold up, the listing doesn't carry the SBA-Ready badge. You shouldn't need to take anyone's word for it.
Sellers keep what they built
Brokers charge 10–12% for work that's mostly process. We built the process into software, staffed it with SBA specialists, and moved the fee to the buyer side — 5%, only at close. Sellers pay nothing, ever.
Aligned incentives, in the open
We make money two ways and we publish both: the buyer's 5% success fee at close, and lender-paid placement fees when GoSBA arranges the loan. We're paid when deals close — not for listings, clicks, or leads.
Where this is going
Today: verified, SBA-financeable listings with a real funding path and advisors who close. Next: NDA-gated data rooms, deal pipelines, and buyer matching that gets smarter with every closed transaction. The goal doesn't change — more of America's small businesses changing hands successfully, with the people who built them keeping what they've earned.
