For SBA-approved borrowers

Approved by the SBA.
Waiting on the bank.

Your SBA 7(a) loan is approved. Your project has a deadline. But disbursement takes weeks — sometimes months. Capital Expansion bridges that gap with specialty financing against your SBA approval as soft collateral.

No credit pull. No commitment. Free to search.

How it works

Bridge the gap in three steps

  1. 1

    Find your SBA approval

    Enter your business name and state. We look it up against the full SBA 7(a) database — approval date, lender, loan amount, NAICS code. Confirm it's yours.

  2. 2

    Tell us what you need

    Five short questions: what's the deadline driving your bridge need? How much do you need? What's the use of funds? We anonymize your profile before showing it to capital partners.

  3. 3

    Get matched within 24-48 hours

    Capital partners who specialize in SBA bridge deals review your profile and send intro requests. You decide who to engage — no unsolicited outreach.

Data-driven matching, not a generic marketplace.

We know your approval already

We've indexed every SBA 7(a) approval since 2019 — 1.9 million records. We see your approval before you tell us about it.

Capital partners who specialize in SBA bridge

Our network focuses on the SBA-approved niche — they understand the collateral structure. They're not generalist lenders evaluating from scratch.

Your profile stays anonymized

No partner sees your contact information until you accept an intro. We match by profile, not cold outreach.

Real pipeline, right now

10,874 borrowers approved in Q1 2026, totaling $6.0B in pending SBA capital. You're not alone in the gap.

Common questions

What borrowers want to know

Will this affect my credit score?

Searching for your SBA approval and submitting your bridge profile doesn't trigger a credit inquiry. Any formal underwriting by a capital partner may involve a soft pull — they'll disclose this before proceeding.

Is this a real loan? Or a cash advance?

Bridge financing against an SBA approval is a short-term structured loan — not a revenue-based advance or factored receivable. It's priced as a bridge: higher than long-term SBA rates but far lower than working capital alternatives. Typical bridge term matches your SBA disbursement timeline.

How much will it cost?

Pricing is set by the capital partner, not by Capital Expansion. We don't underwrite or set rates. Partners disclose their terms before you agree to anything.
