Services built to move your SBA request forward
Since 2009, Market Direct Capital has helped owners package, position, and place SBA financing across industries and project types. We focus on clarity, lender alignment, and underwriting-ready files—so decisions come faster and closing is smoother.
Core services
1) Pre-qualification & strategy
Quick eligibility and fit check: use of funds, cash flow, guarantor profile, and program alignment (7(a), CDC/504, Express, USDA B&I). We outline a realistic path, timeline, and next steps.
2) Packaging & positioning
Underwriter-ready narrative, sources/uses, debt schedules, DSCR view, and a concise risk/mitigation section. We prepare files in the format loan officers and credit teams expect.
- Business plan and three-statement projections (monthly P&L, cash flow, balance sheet)
- Assumption notes and sensitivity cases
- Owner-occupancy mapping for real estate (see below)
3) Targeted lender match
We primarily work with Preferred SBA Lenders (PLP) who can issue delegated decisions—often shortening review cycles. Our proprietary research surfaces lenders who have funded similar uses of funds, asset classes, or industries.
4) Underwriting navigation
We anticipate questions, organize third-party items, and help resolve conditions. The goal: reduce back-and-forth and keep momentum toward a clear decision.
5) Closing coordination
From commitment through close, we assist with documentation flow, timing, and lender communications so you can focus on operations.
