Founded over 30 years ago, USA Funding specializes in providing commercial and governmental financing solutions, including SBA, NJEDA, and FmHA guaranteed loans. With a strong network of over 100 banks and lending partners, the firm boasts a 98% approval ratio and finances over $150 million annually. USA Funding assists businesses in obtaining capital by handling all aspects of loan processing, from application to closing. Their expertise ensures clients receive fast and accurate funding, making them a trusted partner for business growth.

Nick Repertorio from USA Funding will explain why life insurance agents are a critical part of the SBA loan process. SBA loans often require life insurance on the principal for the term of the loan, creating a unique opportunity for life insurance agents to expand their business.

By understanding the nuances of SBA loans and their requirements, life insurance agents can identify prospects who need financing and recommend SBA loans as a viable solution. This not only helps clients secure necessary funding but also allows agents to secure new policies and build lasting relationships.
