Business Plans & Financial Projections

Since 2009, Market Direct Capital™ has originated and placed SBA loans nationwide. Our edge is deep expertise in how business plans and financial projections must be built and presented for SBA underwriting. We prepare plans the way loan officers, underwriters, and credit teams expect to see them, so your story is clear and your numbers are defensible. Business plans and projections can make or break an SBA request, and we treat them with that level of importance.

Bank-Ready Structure

Executive summary, market analysis, operations, ownership, and management content aligned to SBA expectations.

Three-Statement Modeling

Monthly profit and loss, cash flow, and balance sheet support with scenario planning and narrative clarity.

Use-of-Funds Alignment

Sources and uses, debt service support, and sensitivity checks aligned with the requested financing structure.

Rent Replacement, A Path to Up to 100% Financing

If you currently rent your business space, an SBA loan can replace rent with an ownership payment when occupancy rules and deal structure are aligned correctly.

How It Works

  • Use SBA 7(a) or CDC/504 to acquire owner-occupied property
  • 51% or more occupancy for existing buildings, 61% for new construction
  • Prior rent can support affordability and payment logic

Why It Helps

  • Build equity while stabilizing occupancy cost
  • Potential for up to 100% financing when criteria are met
  • Preserve cash for working capital and business growth

Frequently Asked Questions

A few quick answers to help you better understand SBA financing and how we support the process.

How fast can I fund?

Timelines vary by program, lender, and deal complexity, but strong packaging early in the process helps reduce delays and improve overall efficiency.

Do I need collateral?

Collateral requirements vary by lender and transaction, but many SBA approvals consider the full picture, including cash flow, management experience, business strength, and overall structure.

What credit scores qualify?

SBA lenders evaluate more than a single score. Cash flow, experience, projections, and the quality of the request presentation all matter.

What can SBA financing be used for?

Common uses include working capital, business acquisition, partner buyouts, refinance, equipment, debt consolidation, and business owner-occupied commercial real estate.

Can I buy my building with little down?

Yes. SBA programs support business owner-occupied real estate and may offer lower equity requirements than many conventional options when the structure and occupancy meet program guidelines.

What if I am just getting started?

New ventures may qualify when supported by relevant experience, strong planning, and well-developed financial projections. Proper preparation becomes especially important in these cases.

MCA to SBA Program

Replace high-cost merchant cash advances with a structured path to affordable SBA financing. Market Direct Capital™ helps qualified borrowers stabilize cash flow, consolidate advances, and move into longer terms with competitive rates. If a direct SBA refinance is not feasible today, we can design an interim solution that leads toward SBA eligibility.

Who This Helps

  • Daily or weekly MCA payments that strain cash flow
  • Multiple advances that need consolidation into one payment
  • Credit challenges or prior issues that require a practical path forward
  • Real estate or business assets available to support financing

Quick Facts

  • Loan amounts: $75,000 to $5,000,000+
  • Terms: up to 10 years for working capital, up to 25 years with real estate
  • Payments: monthly, not daily withdrawals
  • Use of funds: consolidate advances, refinance short-term debt, improve cash flow
  • Credit: prime to subprime considered, case-by-case
  • Collateral: business assets, real estate, or both
