Loan Options

At ThinkSBA, we help entrepreneurs secure the right financing to achieve their business goals — whether it’s acquiring a company, expanding through franchising, buying out a partner, or purchasing real estate.

Ryan Smith brings deep SBA and banking expertise to structure each loan with the most favorable terms, competitive rates, and the flexibility you need to succeed.

Explore your options below to see which type of financing best fits your next move.

Buying an existing business is one of the fastest ways to build wealth and become your own boss. ThinkSBA helps you secure SBA 7(a) financing tailored for business acquisitions — including deals that involve seller notes, working capital, and goodwill-heavy valuations.
We’ll guide you through lender selection, financial packaging, and deal structure to ensure your acquisition is fully fundable and positioned for long-term success.


Ideal for: Entrepreneurs purchasing an established business with strong cash flow and growth potential.

Business Acquisition

Whether you’re opening your first franchise location or expanding your footprint, franchise financing through ThinkSBA gives you access to SBA-approved lenders who specialize in franchise systems.
We help you analyze franchise disclosure documents, model startup costs, and secure funding that includes equipment, buildout, and working capital — so you can launch with confidence.

Ideal for: Entrepreneurs seeking a proven business model backed by an established brand.

Franchise Acquisition

Looking to take full control of your company? A partner buyout loan allows one or more owners to purchase another partner’s share without disrupting operations or depleting cash flow.
ThinkSBA structures SBA 7(a) and conventional loans that make ownership transitions smooth and financially sound — helping you protect your business, team, and legacy while keeping growth on track.

Ideal for: Existing business owners buying out a partner or investor to gain full control.

Partner Buy-Out

Owning your business property builds equity, stabilizes overhead, and strengthens your long-term financial position.
Through SBA 504 and 7(a) loan programs, ThinkSBA connects you with lenders who offer low down payments, long amortization periods, and fixed-rate options for owner-occupied commercial real estate.
We’ll help you evaluate whether to buy, lease, or refinance — and guide you toward the structure that maximizes both cash flow and equity growth.

Ideal for: Business owners purchasing real estate for their own operations.
