Review the reason.
Bring your denial notice, any lender feedback, and the application you submitted. We help you understand the concerns and questions to address.
A denial is discouraging. Before submitting another application, understand what stood in the way—and whether there’s a practical path forward.
American Capital Consulting helps established business owners review an SBA loan denial, identify gaps in their loan package, and prepare for the next conversation with a lender.
Our SBA loan denial consulting service is for existing businesses meeting both requirements. This is ACC’s service requirement, not an SBA eligibility rule or a guarantee of financing.
Start with the explanation from the lender or SBA. The next step depends on who made the decision, which loan program you applied for, and the reason given.
Credit history, repayment ability, program eligibility, and the information supporting your request can all affect the outcome. The SBA states that 7(a) borrowers must be creditworthy and demonstrate a reasonable ability to repay. Your lender determines the documents needed for your circumstances.
Better paperwork alone cannot solve every denial. The goal is to separate missing information from financial or eligibility issues that need a different response.
Bring your denial notice, any lender feedback, and the application you submitted. We help you understand the concerns and questions to address.
We review the financial information and supporting documents, identify inconsistencies or missing details, and help present your business clearly.
Discuss whether to ask about reconsideration, prepare a future application, or explore other financing options. The appropriate route depends on your situation.
“I was denied by SBA and on my last appeal, I was so nervous about taking a risk with filing again. The team at ACC immediately made me feel at ease. I scheduled the free discovery call they have and liked to learn about their experience and how they handle my type of situation. We managed to get my final appeal completed and my application FINALLY approved.”
Historical client experience; the review does not identify the loan program. Individual results vary. A past approval does not guarantee a future approval.
Schedule My Discovery Call↗Possibly, but it depends on the reason for denial and whether the underlying issue can be resolved. Ask the lender what would need to change before another review. A new application does not guarantee a different outcome.
This denial consulting service is limited to existing businesses with at least $500,000 in annual revenue. Businesses below that threshold can explore the SBA’s local assistance resources.
Have your denial notice, lender correspondence, loan request, recent financial statements, tax returns, and an overview of existing business debt available. Your consultant can explain what is relevant to your case; please do not send sensitive documents through unsecured email.
Qualifying programs may cover our consulting fees. Availability depends on your business and the services needed. If fees apply, we explain them before you engage us. Meeting our revenue requirement does not automatically qualify you for no-fee services or financing.
