NaviTrust is an executive recruiting firm that helps SBA lenders close more loans by recruiting the general managers, operators and licensed professionals their borrowers need.
We partner with SBA lenders to ensure their borrowers have the key hires needed to qualify for and operate under SBA financing: general managers, operators and licensed professionals.
Executive recruiting since 1991, powered by identifyd. We make the key hires that solve one of the most common SBA loan blockers: insufficient or unqualified management.
| The risk | What we do | The outcome |
|---|---|---|
| The borrower lacks a qualified general manager or operator | Recruit experienced GMs and operators that underwriting requires | A borrower that demonstrates operational capability |
| A regulated industry requires licensed professionals | Recruit licensed professionals who satisfy lender requirements | Licensing requirements met before close |
| Management or licensing gaps surface during underwriting | Identify the gaps and recruit to fill required roles | Deals keep moving toward close |
| Key-person risk after funding | Build out the full leadership team post-close | Stronger loan performance and repayment |
Targeted recruiting for the roles underwriting requires.
Platform-driven hiring, with creative or milestone-based structures where appropriate.
We help you close more loans and reduce risk.
It covers role gaps, hiring feasibility, pay benchmarks and time to fill, so you know before you underwrite whether a borrower can build a qualifying team. It is available at any stage of the loan, and is most useful pre-underwriting, when we validate whether the borrower can staff the business.
Yes. We recruit experienced general managers and operators during underwriting to keep deals moving, and we confirm all personnel requirements are satisfied before funding. Insufficient or unqualified management is one of the most common SBA loan blockers, and filling the role early removes it.
We recruit the licensed professionals regulated industries need to qualify and operate, so licensing requirements are met before close. If management or licensing gaps surface during underwriting, we identify them and recruit to fill the required roles so the deal keeps moving.
Both. We partner with SBA lenders and work directly with their borrowers: validating the team before underwriting, recruiting required roles during underwriting, confirming personnel requirements before funding, and helping the borrower build out leadership after close.
Time to fill depends on the role, the industry and the local talent market. Our Talent Readiness Assessment estimates time to fill for each required role up front, so the hiring plan can be matched to the loan timeline before underwriting begins.
