Your Back Office to Fund, Run, and Grow Your SMB Acquisition.

Built by ETA pros—we secure better SBA terms, build the financial foundation, and keep growth systems running, so you can buy and run your SMB like a company 100× its size.

Fund

The SBA lending process is overwhelming—and your options are limited. You can try to navigate it alone, or work with brokers who prioritize referral fees over finding you the best deal. We do things differently. We help you find the lender that’s the best fit for your deal, offer full transparency into how we’re paid, and most of the time, our service is free to you.

Run

After close, we become your back office. We handle accounting, finance, and IT—giving you the systems and reporting usually reserved for much larger companies. We focus heavily on cash flow—the lifeblood of your business—so you always know where things stand and can focus on more important things. No DIY spreadsheets. No chaos. Just clarity and control.

Grow

We create the foundation for smart growth, starting with your online presence. From website to SEO to paid ads, we help position your business to attract attention and drive opportunity over time. We also help you build your team with elite remote talent from LATAM, working your hours at a fraction of US cost. It’s the support you need to grow, without over spending.

I’ve been in your seat. I started my search three years ago and quickly ran into the realities of the SBA process. My options? Navigate it alone for the first time—or use a loan broker whose incentives were tied to which bank paid the highest referral fee, not which one was the best fit for me.After buying my first company, I realized how difficult it is to run a newly acquired business without the tools, visibility, or support to do it well. I didn’t have the team or the budget—like I did when I ran a VC-backed company—to build a proper back office.So out of necessity, I built what I wish I had—SMB Edge. A streamlined mix of SBA debt support and enterprise-grade finance and growth infrastructure. It’s everything I needed during my search and to run the business after closing—and now, I’m offering it to you.
