About the Firm

Institutional-grade lending advisory for small and lower middle-market businesses across all 50 states.

Our Approach

Capital Solutions Built on Operating Expertise

Silver Oak Capital Partners is a commercial lending advisory firm that structures USDA Business & Industry, SBA, and conventional financing for established, cash-flowing businesses nationwide.

We focus exclusively on operating companies — not startups — that need growth capital, acquisition financing, or refinancing of existing debt. Every transaction is backed by tangible collateral: commercial real estate, equipment, and proven cash flows.

Our team brings deep fluency in government-guaranteed lending programs, allowing us to identify the optimal financing structure for each client's specific situation — whether that's a USDA B&I loan with an 80% federal guarantee, an SBA 7(a) or 504 loan, or a conventional bank deal.

  • Nationwide Coverage

    We originate across all 50 states, with particular depth in rural and suburban markets where USDA eligibility creates structural advantages for borrowers.

  • Institutional Execution

    Every deal is structured with the rigor of an institutional underwrite — detailed financial modeling, precise collateral analysis, and clean documentation.

  • Borrower Advocacy

    We serve as a direct conduit between the borrower and the capital markets, negotiating optimal terms and shepherding every deal through closing.

  • Speed to Close

    Our pre-qualification process identifies deal viability early, allowing us to move quickly from term sheet to commitment to closing.

Work With Experienced Advisors

We bring deep expertise in government-guaranteed lending to every transaction, ensuring the best possible outcome for our borrowers.
