SBA loans, without the runaround
Get a real SBA loan,
on your terms.
Buddy prepares your complete institutional-grade lender package. Up to 3 matched lenders claim your deal. You pick. We're paid the same no matter who wins — that's the point.
How it works
Three steps, about 30–60 days from start to funded.
Talk to Buddy, upload a few documents.
Answer in plain English. Buddy builds your full package — business plan, projections, feasibility study, SBA forms.
Your package hits the Buddy Marketplace.
Matched lenders preview for 24 hours, then up to 3 can claim your deal during a same-day claim window.
You review the claims and pick.
See full lender identity, closing timeline, and any relationship terms. Pick one. Your full trident releases to you and your package releases to the lender you picked.
Neutrality promise
Neutral by design, not by promise.
We never pick a lender. You always pick.
Buddy presents whichever claims came in. 0, 1, 2, or 3. You choose. We never shop your deal off-platform.
Rates come from a published rate card.
No haggling, no hidden markups. The rate for your loan is pegged to SBA-published parameters and your deal's strength band. Every claimant offers the same rate.
Your identity is hidden until you pick.
Lenders see your package strength, not your name. Only the picked lender ever sees who you are.
We're paid the same fee regardless of which lender wins.
That's why we can stay neutral. Our incentive is funded deals, not favored lenders.
Common questions
Things borrowers actually ask.
What does it cost?+
$1,000 packaging fee paid from loan proceeds at closing — never out of pocket. Lenders pay 1% of the funded loan. Both fees disclosed on SBA Form 159.
How long does it take?+
Typical 30–60 days from start to funded. The marketplace step itself is about 2 business days — preview, claim, pick.
What documents do I need?+
Your last 3 years of business tax returns, last 3 months of bank statements, a government ID, and your business formation documents. Buddy guides you through exactly what's needed.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. Your identity is hidden from all matched lenders during preview and claim. Only the lender you pick ever sees your name.
What if I don't like any of the claims?+
You can veto and re-list once for free within 60 days. No obligation, no pressure.
