Market Capital Lending is a veteran-owned commercial lender and brokerage with more than 40 years of combined lending experience and over $375 million funded for business owners across the Southeast. We're based in nearby Loganville, GA, just up the road from Lilburn, and we work with a network of 40 to 50 lenders to help local entrepreneurs get financing that fits their business. Below, here's how we help Lilburn businesses get funded.
Quick answer: We help Lilburn business owners secure SBA loans, commercial real estate financing, multifamily loans, and more, typically on deals of $300,000 and up. Self-employed borrowers and those who've been turned down by a bank are welcome, and because we work with 40 to 50 lenders, we can usually find a fit even when a single bank says no.
Lilburn's small-business economy
Lilburn has grown into one of Gwinnett County's most diverse and entrepreneurial communities, anchored by a revitalized Old Town district and a steady mix of retail shops, restaurants, and professional offices. A significant share of that growth has come from first-generation and immigrant business owners who've built successful ventures but don't always have an existing relationship with a bank willing to finance their next step. That's where working with a broker who has access to many lenders — rather than just one — can make a real difference in getting a deal approved. (Rates, approval, and terms vary by credit, collateral, loan amount, and underwriting.)
What Lilburn businesses come to us for
Lilburn business owners typically reach out for SBA loans, commercial real estate loans, multifamily financing, and fix-and-flip loans. Most of the deals we work on start around $300,000, and having credit in the 680-plus range generally helps move things along, though exceptions do come up depending on the overall deal. We often work with owner-occupied, special-use businesses like restaurants, daycares, and mechanic shops — including financing for construction and build-out costs. For business acquisitions, SBA loans can also finance goodwill, and we offer a complimentary cash-flow analysis to help buyers understand what a purchase can support. You can see our full range of options on our loan programs page.

While we're proud to serve Lilburn directly, we also work with business owners throughout the surrounding area, including Snellville, Duluth, Lawrenceville, and the rest of Gwinnett County.

Frequently asked questions
Does Market Capital Lending work with first-generation or immigrant business owners in Lilburn?
Yes. Lilburn has a strong community of first-generation and immigrant entrepreneurs, and our broker model — with access to 40 to 50 lenders — helps us find financing options for owners who may not have an existing bank relationship or a traditional credit history.
What's the minimum loan amount you typically fund in Lilburn?
Most of our deals start around $300,000, though every situation is different. If you're not sure whether your project qualifies, the best step is to reach out and talk through the details.
Can I get financing if a bank already turned me down?
Often, yes. Bank turndowns are common, and one of the main reasons business owners come to us is that we can shop a deal across our lender network rather than relying on a single bank's criteria.
Do you finance owner-occupied businesses like restaurants or daycares in Lilburn?
Yes. We regularly work with owner-occupied, special-use businesses such as restaurants, daycares, and mechanic shops, including financing for construction or build-out needs.
Is Market Capital Lending only for large businesses?
Not at all. We work with self-employed owners and smaller operations throughout Lilburn and Gwinnett County, as long as the deal generally falls in the $300,000-and-up range.
