More Relationships. More Deals.

Brokers and lenders networking at the inaugural NASLB Summit

The NASLB Winter Summit brings SBA loan brokers and SBA lenders together for one purpose: more relationships and more funded deals.

Brokers need lenders who understand their deals. Lenders need brokers who can bring them qualified borrowers. The Winter Summit puts both sides of that equation in the same room.

This is not a conference built around long speeches and generic industry presentations. It is a working summit focused on the issues that directly affect SBA originations, approvals, referrals, and funded loans.

You will hear what lenders want from brokers, where lenders are finding opportunities, how successful brokers are building their businesses, and how SBA professionals are approaching today’s most important deal types.

Just as important, you will have time to meet the people behind the credit boxes.

Who You Will Meet

Attendees at the inaugural NASLB Summit in Las Vegas

At the inaugural summit in Las Vegas, more than 40 SBA lenders and more than 50 brokers were in the room. Not marketing staff — the people who set credit policy, approve deals, and decide what gets funded, sitting with the people generating the opportunities.

Orlando brings that same group back to the table:

  • SBA loan brokers
  • SBA 7(a) lenders
  • SBA 504 professionals
  • Business acquisition specialists
  • Commercial finance professionals
  • Referral partners
  • Industry executives
  • Fintech and lending technology providers

The goal is simple: create conversations that lead to relationships, and relationships that lead to funded deals.

Why Attend NASLB?

You can read lender guidelines online. You can review SBA program requirements from your office.

What you cannot replicate online is sitting across the table from a lender and learning what they actually want to fund.

NASLB gives brokers direct access to lenders. It gives lenders direct access to the brokers generating SBA opportunities. And it gives both sides time to build the relationships that make future transactions easier.

SBA lending remains a relationship business.

Deals move because brokers know which lenders want them. Lenders grow because they know which brokers can deliver quality opportunities. NASLB brings those people together.

Forty Lenders. Fifty Brokers. One Room.

The inaugural NASLB Summit in Las Vegas put more than 40 SBA lenders in front of the brokers who bring them deals. No booths, no badge scanning, no pitch decks — just brokers finding out which lenders actually want their credit, and lenders finding out who is generating it.

Orlando is the same format, and the room fills the same way.
