ThinkSBA, San Diego, CA

There is not enough room on this page to show my gratitude and professional recommendation for Ryan & ThinkSBA! Short story, he's a miracle worker. We had started on a deal with the SBA last year that, due to my tenured experience in hospitality, seemed like an easy projection loan on a good potential property. Well, COVID-19 hit and banks pulled completely OUT of any hospitality lending. They would not even give us the time of day - not really understanding the property or our potential. We went through 3 brokers, 36+ banks and had relinquished most of our hope on a dream property. Luckily, our accountant knew Ryan, introduced us and he made it happen, not only in record time but surmounting many hurdles. He took the time to research our backgrounds, knew what we were worth and hat we could do, understood our passion and tenacity to make it happen and had all the right contacts to push it through! We moved into the property this week and couldn't be more thrilled! GREAT JOB RYAN - COME VISIT US SOON!!

We were introduced to Ryan with ThinkSBA after having issues with other financial institutions. Ryan was able to assist us with securing financing through one of many financial institutions that he has built partnerships with. Ryan has a phenomenal system that makes the loan application far less burdensome and allows for increased automation. He is very professional and prompt. When trying to close a transaction, proper communication is key, and Ryan was a strong communicator throughout our entire transaction. Our business will continue to work with Ryan on any future transactions.

Ryan has helped with me two sba loans, a 7A to purchase a business and a 504 to purchase the building for one of our businesses. Ryan has a great process to find the lending institutions that will most likely be successful in providing a mutually agreeable financing. Other banks waste your time and tell you that you're a fit and then 2 months later they reject you from underwriting. Ryan prequalifies the institutions and finds the great fits to meet your needs. He is a professional and amazing at his job.

Working with Ryan was a pleasure, from the beginning of the process to the end. It’s not easy to find funding as a startup; I thought the only route open to me was SBA. After my first meeting with Ryan, he let me know he likes to think creatively with regards to finding the right funding for each individual business. I was skeptical that there would be anything better than what I had already found for myself, but sure enough, Ryan came through with an offer that was truly beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend working with Ryan and look forward to working with him in the future myself!

Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, communicative, and extremely service-oriented. He took the time to be sure we understood all terms throughout the entire process and I always felt he had my best interest in mind with a holistic approach. We will definitely use Ryan again for our future financial needs.

We had the distinct pleasure of working with Ryan Smith from ThinkSBA when we applied for a loan for our new business. He was professional throughout the entire loan application process. He was in constant communication with us. He always answered our questions promptly and was available anytime we needed his support. His knowledge of the SBA loan application process successfully guided us from start to finish! His effort and expertise made the SBA loan possible! We couldn't have done it without him. We highly recommend Ryan Smith and ThinkSBA to anyone applying for a loan.

Ryan was great! I was so thankful to have found Ryan after feeling like we hit a dead end when seeking funding for our small business. I sent a website inquiry in the early morning and we were consulting with him within hours. Ryan was so knowledgeable and confident. There's no way we'd be where we are today without him and the service he provided for us. He was professional, accessible and more than helpful!

Ryan Smith at ThinkSBA is a class act. He worked hard to find us the right loan product for our growing business in a niche industry. Ryan introduced us to a lender and, from initial underwriting through closing, Ryan was always available to answer our questions. The process was smooth and we are looking forward to working with Ryan again in the near future.
