As a borrower from the SBA it is not of your concern where your paper ends up, the SBA insures the paper up to 70%, it's how SBA 7A loans can be had at below prime for borrowers.
I didn't say it was. Re read my post. I know smaller lenders can be more aggressive and therefore he may have a better time than going to a big bank, only a few of which are big SBA lenders.
