SBA 7(a) acquisition financing experts - $250M+ closed across 115+ deals since 2022
Pioneer Capital Advisory is a commercial loan brokerage firm specializing in SBA 7(a) acquisition financing for business buyers nationwide. Founded by Matthias Smith in 2022, the firm has closed over $250 million across 115+ acquisitions, with Smith's personal SBA lending experience exceeding $300 million across four commercial banks including Live Oak Bank. The team of seven - including underwriting, sales, and analyst professionals - guides buyers from LOI through closing on a 90-day exclusive engagement, with no cost to the buyer as compensation comes from the lender at close.
Alternative Financing
Conventional (non-SBA) loan brokerage for business acquisitions that fall outside SBA eligibility or where conventional financing offers better terms. Pioneer connects buyers with commercial lenders from their nationwide network and manages the process from application through closing.
Loan Brokers
End-to-end SBA 7(a) loan brokerage for business acquisitions from $500K to $5M. Pioneer matches buyers with optimal SBA lenders from their nationwide network, prepares lender-ready credit decks, and provides real-time M&A support from LOI through closing. Average closing timeline is 60-90 days. Free for buyers - Pioneer is compensated by the lender at close.
