Live Oak’s search fund lending team is solely focused on helping self-funded search funders access capital to acquire businesses. With over three decades of experience and industry connections, we’ll be by your side to support your investment thesis and growth strategy. We embrace a creative approach to overcoming obstacles and pursuing goals.
Who We Serve
Plain and simple, we know SBA loans. Not only do we understand the importance of being cash flow-oriented, but we also understand the search fund model. Whether you are a first-time buyer or have years of experience, we can support your acquisition efforts.
We’ll meet you where you are, whether that’s creatively structuring a small business loan or helping you maximize your money with a high-yield savings account. No need to jump through hoops for our attention—get the service you deserve from Live Oak Bank.
This weekly meeting is for self-funded searchers. We will walk you through the entire financing process and explain how we pre-screen deals prior to LOI. You will also be able to ask questions and benefit from hearing the questions of other searchers.
We are dedicated to helping search funders and have created a robust set of resources to help along the way such as guides, FAQs, podcast interviews and more.
As part of our commitment to supporting small business owners, we have a library of free educational resources available to anyone. Here’s what you can expect to find in Live Oak Bank’s Resource Center:
