On network size and track record
GoSBA's page says our network size and track record are not disclosed. Our numbers are on our homepage and our about page: 1,000+ SBA deals closed, a $1.2MM+ average loan, and a 98% success rate on the deals we take.
On the network: more than 50 active lenders work with us on our platform, and we do not limit a deal to that list. We choose the right lender for each deal from every SBA lender, based on the industry, the size and the structure, and on what each lender is actually approving now. Our Lender Explorer is built on the same SBA data we use to do it.
