SBA loans

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of SBA loans - the shows and 12 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

SBA loans enable entrepreneurs to acquire and scale businesses that might otherwise be out of reach - from distressed motels and post-disaster recovery projects to franchise purchases and agency acquisitions. These episodes explore real-world scenarios where SBA financing made the difference: Michael Russell's turnaround of an $800K motel into a $2.4M revenue operation, rebuilding efforts after the Lahaina fires, and franchise acquisitions as alternatives to starting from scratch. Understanding lease structures, disaster recovery options, and franchise financing can help operators evaluate whether SBA lending fits their growth strategy.
