Thrive in the deep end.
Swimming through the SBA lending industry talent pool gap.
The Problem
Supply, Demand, and the Inch-Deep SBA Talent Pool
Meteoric growth in the SBA industry over the past decade has far outstripped the supply of SBA-specialized talent, driving up the cost of employment dramatically, and resulting in a workforce constantly asked to do more with fewer people.

In The Last Decade
