"Buying a business for the first time is intimidating. You're signing the biggest loan of your life, coordinating attorneys, sellers, landlords, licensing agencies — and half the time you don't even know what you don't know. Shay Barkley is the reason I got through it. Shay was my lender at 44 Business Capital for the SBA 7(a) loan I used to purchase Parker Sales & Service in Dallas, Georgia — a deal that included both the business and the commercial real estate. From day one, she went far beyond what I expected from a banker. When I didn't understand something, she explained it without ever making me feel like I was asking a dumb question. Shay is organized, responsive, personable, and relentless in the best way. I genuinely don't think it would have happened as smoothly — maybe at all — without her. If you're buying a business and looking for an SBA lender, work with Shay Barkley. She'll treat your deal like it's her own."

Lukasz Plebaniak, Owner
Parker Sales & Service | Dallas, Georgia

CHALLENGE

SBA business acquisition loans can be complex, especially for first-time buyers. Between financing, legal, licensing, seller, and landlord requirements, borrowers need more than capital. Shay Barkley and the team at 44 Business Capital helped this first time SBA borrower by providing clear guidance, steady communication, and hands-on support from application to closing. Shay structured an SBA 7(a) loan that included both the business and the commercial real estate.
