SBL Direct Capital
Direct, Asset-Based Real Estate Lending
SBL Direct Capital is a direct lending program from Small Business Lending, Inc. for real estate investors — loans that close and fund in our own name, underwritten around the property rather than personal income documentation.
Direct lending, not a marketplace
We close and fund these loans ourselves.
SBL Direct Capital loans are not brokered out to a call center or resold to the highest bidder. Small Business Lending, Inc. closes and funds these loans in its own name, then manages the file with the same team from application through funding.
We Close and Fund the Loan
Loans in this program close and fund in the name of Small Business Lending, Inc. at the closing table — not a broker desk or online marketplace.
Asset-Based Underwriting
Approval is built around the property's value, condition, and income potential — not personal tax returns, W-2s, or income seasoning.
Flexible on Borrower Profile
Entity borrowers, foreign national borrowers, and borrowers with limited U.S. credit history are eligible for many transactions.
One Team, Start to Finish
The team that structures your file is the same team that funds and closes it — no hand-off to a separate closing desk.
Program overview
Financing for real estate investors, built around the deal.
SBL Direct Capital covers residential investment property, ground-up rehab, commercial real estate, and multifamily transactions through one direct lending program. Because we underwrite the collateral and the transaction rather than a stack of personal financial documentation, files move on the timeline real estate deals actually require.

Our process
Structuring, underwriting, and funding — handled directly, start to finish.
01 — StructuringWe review the property, the borrower's plan, and the exit strategy to structure the loan amount, leverage, and terms around the transaction.
02 — UnderwritingWe underwrite the collateral and the deal itself — value, condition, and income potential — rather than personal tax returns or W-2 income.
03 — Closing & FundingThe loan closes and funds in the name of Small Business Lending, Inc., keeping the file under one roof through the closing table.
04 — Post-Closing CoordinationWe remain the point of contact after closing for servicing questions and next steps on future transactions.
