Curated Network
Our lender directory includes SBA 7(a) and 504 lenders who are actively lending on small business acquisitions. Not a generic list — these are lenders with real acquisition lending appetite.
Warm Introductions
Skip the cold call. Pro and Team subscribers can request warm introductions to lenders matched to their deal profile. We share a summary of your deal (with your approval) to facilitate a productive first conversation.
Deal-Specific Matching
Lenders are matched based on loan size, industry, geography, and deal characteristics. No more guessing which lenders will be interested in your specific acquisition.
Qualification Screening
Before requesting an intro, you complete a brief qualification form. This helps lenders prioritize serious buyers and ensures your intro request has the best chance of a positive response.

Request an Introduction
Fill out the qualification form and select which lenders you would like an introduction to. We share a financial summary with the lender — only with your explicit approval.
Connect & Proceed
The lender receives your deal summary and reaches out to you directly. From there, you work with the lender on their standard application process.
Lender introductions are introductions only, not loan commitments or guarantees of financing. All lending decisions are made solely by the participating lender institutions. BuySideMetrics is not a lender, loan broker, or financial institution.
