Does anyone have recommendations for financing a small business that doesn't involve life insurance? I'm otherwise eligible for an SBA but have chronic health conditions and have been denied but all of the sba lenders are not open to a waiver.

I know an unsecured broker but they charge an arm and a leg and I'd end up with god knows how many hard credit pulls and banks to deal with if I go that route.

I know the alternative is raising equity but thats also not preferred.Any help appreciated.

perhaps your business plan isn't viable? i can't imagine the SBA denying a loan based on heath issues? that topic never came up when i applied. (health issues) but the topic of a business plan came up and viability of the business? i don't think they are lending money anymre for learing centers

Life insurance is required for many SBA loans. If you have a lender that doesn't require it, would you be open to share their info?

Hi everyone, I work at an early stage start up that just closed our round A. I just hired a director below me, however when it was time to come up with an offer I was removed from the conversation. The CO-founders said they’d handle the actual offer amount/equity. I joined early so salary is low but I have decent equity. Not sure if they didn’t want me seeing the offer or if this is normal for early start ups.
