  Ryan has helped with me two sba loans, a 7A to purchase a business and a 504 to purchase the building for one of our businesses. Ryan has a great process to find the lending institutions that will most likely be successful in providing a mutually agreeable financing. Other banks waste your time and tell you that you're a fit and then 2 months later they reject you from underwriting. Ryan prequalifies the institutions and finds the great fits to meet your needs. He is a professional and amazing at his job.

  There is not enough room on this page to show my gratitude and professional recommendation for Ryan & ThinkSBA! Short story, he's a miracle worker. We had started on a deal with the SBA last year that, due to my tenured experience in hospitality, seemed like an easy projection loan on a good potential property. Well, COVID-19 hit and banks pulled completely OUT of any hospitality lending. They would not even give us the time of day - not really understanding the property or our potential. We went through 3 brokers, 36+ banks and had relinquished most of our hope on a dream property. Luckily, our accountant knew Ryan, introduced us and he made it happen, not only in record time but surmounting many hurdles. He took the time to research our backgrounds, knew what we were worth and hat we could do, understood our passion and tenacity to make it happen and had all the right contacts to push it through! We moved into the property this week and couldn't be more thrilled! GREAT JOB RYAN - COME VISIT US SOON!!

  We were introduced to Ryan with ThinkSBA after having issues with other financial institutions. Ryan was able to assist us with securing financing through one of many financial institutions that he has built partnerships with. Ryan has a phenomenal system that makes the loan application far less burdensome and allows for increased automation. He is very professional and prompt. When trying to close a transaction, proper communication is key, and Ryan was a strong communicator throughout our entire transaction. Our business will continue to work with Ryan on any future transactions.

  My husband and I just closed on a loan for a business that we had been trying to get financed for nine months before we met Ryan at ThinkSBA. Ryan immediately understood our vision and the full potential even during the pandemic crisis. Within a week he had secured a bank for us. Our experience with Ryan was nothing short of exceptional. He is a great communicator, always responsive and knows how to keep things moving. He was always the calm and reassuring voice during this often stressful experience. He is highly experienced in real estate, business acquisitions, and the complicated SBA process.

  I would like to share the professional, effective experience I had with Ryan Smith in finding two commercial loans for my businesses. He was very different from the other lenders I have worked with. He gave me a list of things I needed to accomplish, as he searched the right banks for the right loans. He was there every step of the way. I really appreciated his strong strategy as both of these difficult loans came to fruition. He watched over both loans as they progressed, and made sure everything was done in a timely, professional fashion. I would not hesitate for one minute to use him again! He truly helped me with my successful business venture. I will always be thankful for his knowledge and ability of finding the right loan for the right project! Thanks again Ryan for your integrity and extensive knowledge in commercial lending!

  Working with Ryan was a pleasure, from the beginning of the process to the end. It’s not easy to find funding as a startup; I thought the only route open to me was SBA. After my first meeting with Ryan, he let me know he likes to think creatively with regards to finding the right funding for each individual business. I was skeptical that there would be anything better than what I had already found for myself, but sure enough, Ryan came through with an offer that was truly beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend working with Ryan and look forward to working with him in the future myself!

  Ryan was a pleasure to work with. He was very professional, communicative, and extremely service-oriented. He took the time to be sure we understood all terms throughout the entire process and I always felt he had my best interest in mind with a holistic approach. We will definitely use Ryan again for our future financial needs.

  My mother and I had owned our business building for years. We had done some creative financing with the previous owners and the loan note was due. We tried to refinance the building through several lenders, unsuccessfully. It made no sense, but we couldn't refinance it successfully, until Ryan came into our lives. We were referred to Ryan Smith at Torrey Pines Bank by our attorney. He did what he said he would do, and helped us refinance, with the terms agreed upon. We still have that loan and have been very satisfied, not only with the bank, but the service and honesty that Ryan brought to us. We would absolutely recommend Ryan, but we hope to be able to do business with him again in the future. We wish him the best success!
