Why we put every SBA lender on one map
The SBA guarantees billions in small-business loans every year. It doesn’t lend a dime. Banks do, and finding the ones that actually write SBA loans is harder than it has any right to be.
The list exists. Federal 7(a) lending records name every institution funding these loans. But those records live in spreadsheets built for analysts, not for a business owner with a lease to sign and a bank that just said no.
So we turned the records into a directory. All 2,000+ active SBA lenders, sorted into 54 state and territory pages, each with the address, phone number, website, and Google rating a borrower checks before calling. No account needed. No “submit your info to see results.”
The person behind it
I’m Shamori Battle. Chicago raised. Thirty-plus years in sales, marketing, and business development, and a big piece of that spent teaching financial literacy to people the banking system was built to confuse.
Here’s what three decades taught me: most money problems are information problems wearing a disguise.
A business owner gets told no by two banks and starts believing the answer is no. The truth is uglier and more fixable than that. They were asking banks that were never going to say yes, no matter how good the business was. Fewer than half of America’s banks wrote a single SBA loan last year. Nobody at the branch tells you that.
I’ve watched too many good businesses stall in that gap. Not because they weren’t fundable. Because they couldn’t see the list.
And the list was always public. Every institution that funds SBA loans is named in federal lending records. It was just buried in spreadsheets built for analysts, not for an owner with a lease to sign and a banker who went quiet.
So I built the thing I kept wishing someone would hand my students: every actively-writing SBA lender in America, on one map, free. The phone number, the address, the Google rating you were going to check anyway.
You weren’t unfundable. You were at the wrong bank. This site exists so you stop paying for that difference in months of your life.
Pick your state. Find your bank. Go get your money.

Where the data comes from
Listings start from SBA 7(a) lending records and get enriched with public contact details and Google ratings. Lenders can claim their listing and correct anything we got wrong.
How we make money
Browsing is free and stays free. Every lender, every state page, every phone number, no account required.
Lenders can pay for featured placement, and when they do, the listing is labeled Featured so you always know what’s paid and what’s not. That one revenue line keeps the directory independent: we don’t sell your contact info, we don’t take fees on loans, and no lender can pay us to hide another lender.
What this site is not
We’re not a lender, a broker, or a marketplace that auctions your phone number. If you use the shortlist service, your contact info goes only to lenders you approve, and the service is free on both sides.
