7aSavvy is an SBA 7(a) loan broker that helps small business owners across Washington find the right SBA lender for their deal. Founded in 2023 and based in Bothell, Washington, 7aSavvy works with borrowers seeking SBA 7(a) loans from $350,000 to $5 million for owner-occupied commercial real estate, business acquisitions, construction, equipment, debt refinancing, and working capital.

Not every SBA lender wants the same loans. Each one has its own preferences and expertise on industry, loan size, and deal structure, and a request that one bank declines can be routine at another. 7aSavvy reviews each borrower’s request and connects them with a lender whose appetite already fits, drawing on a network of more than 100 SBA lenders and introductions made directly to Vice Presidents and senior lending staff. Most borrowers are matched within 24 hours of completing the free Get Connected form. The service costs the borrower nothing, because 7aSavvy is paid a referral fee by the lender only when the loan funds.

The company was founded by Brett Smith, who has spent more than 30 years in SBA lending, including two decades on the lender side at top-25 SBA banks and 15 years as a loan broker, and has worked on over $1 billion in SBA and commercial real estate loans. 7aSavvy is part of the Savvy family of commercial lending platforms, along with 504Savvy (SBA 504 loans), B&ISavvy (USDA Business & Industry loans), and CRESavvy (conventional commercial real estate loans).
