See all completed SBA loansPioneer’s experience also includes transactions combining an SBA loan with companion conventional financing. These two completed financings show the components separately.
These are completed financing examples, not business purchase prices or an offer of credit. The structure available for another transaction depends on its facts and lender approval.
An industry label only starts the conversation. We connect the business’s cash flow, your background, and the transaction terms to a practical financing plan.
How Pioneer worksReview historical and current financials, support for adjustments, working capital, equipment needs, and what changes when the seller leaves.
Work through sources and uses, buyer capital, transaction costs, liquidity, lender materials, and the proposed ownership structure.
Identify appropriate lenders, compare proposals, coordinate underwriting requests, and help address financing issues through closing.
Clear answers about our experience and what the examples on this page mean.
Pioneer’s published closing record includes home and field services, manufacturing, IT and professional services, distribution and ecommerce, automotive and transportation, consumer services, healthcare and care services, restaurants, and food franchises. The examples on this page are selected completed SBA loans, with industry, loan amount, and closing year drawn from that record.
No. The amounts in the industry cards are closed SBA loan amounts. They are not business valuations or purchase prices. In the two combined-financing examples, the SBA loan and companion conventional loan are shown separately, with their total clearly labeled.
Each transaction needs its own review. Industry experience is a useful starting point, but the business’s cash flow, the buyer, transaction structure, eligibility, and lender underwriting determine the available financing. A prior closing is an example of experience, not a commitment to finance another transaction.
