Private Lending
in Plain Terms

A private loan is a promissory note between a lender and a business borrower — secured by business assets, real property, or both. No bank committee. No 90-page application. Just two parties who understand the deal.

Self-directed IRA holders can legally lend from their retirement account via promissory notes. Interest payments flow back into the account tax-deferred or tax-free — making private business lending one of the few IRS-approved paths to grow retirement wealth outside the stock market.

Bridge Loans

Short-term funding while waiting on SBA approval, a pending business sale, or capital tied up in another asset.

Acquisition Loans

Private capital to fund a business purchase — often faster and more flexible than any traditional lender.

Working Capital

Cover growth costs, inventory, or operational needs with flexible, cash-flow-based loan terms.

SDIRA Lending

IRA holders lend from their account via promissory note. Interest flows back into the retirement account tax-advantaged.

How a Private Loan Closes

Capital Need Identified

Business owner or acquirer brings the opportunity with clear capital requirements and a repayment plan.

IBB Reviews & Matches

We evaluate the borrower's financials and match them with compatible private lenders from our network.

Terms Agreed & Documented

Promissory note, interest rate, maturity date, and security interest are formally documented — typically with the business lender or mortgage broker facilitating the transaction.

Lender Funds the Note

Capital deployed. If via SDIRA, the custodian executes on the lender's behalf — keeping it IRS-compliant.

Payments & Maturity

Borrower makes regular interest payments. At maturity, principal is returned to the lender in full.

Two Sides of the Same Loan.

Whether you need capital to grow or a secured place to put it — IBB brings private lenders and business borrowers together with the structure, documents, and local expertise to close quickly.

For Business Owners

No Bank Required.

How IBB Structures
a Private Loan

From first call to funded note, IBB manages the process so both parties get a clean, documented, professionally structured transaction.

1

Consult & Assess

We meet with the borrower to understand the capital need, timeline, business performance, and ability to repay.

2

Review Financials

IBB reviews P&L, cash flow, and assets — the same factors any informed lender evaluates before committing capital.

3

Match with Lenders

We present the opportunity to our network of private lenders and SDIRA holders actively looking to deploy capital.

4

Document the Loan

A transaction attorney prepares the promissory note, security agreement, and any ancillary documents to protect both parties.

5

Fund & Manage

Capital is deployed. IBB remains available to support both parties through the loan term and at maturity.

Why Private Lending
Stays Local

When San Diego capital funds San Diego businesses, the community wins — and so do the lenders who understand exactly what they're funding.

Capital Stays in San Diego

Every dollar invested locally circulates through the community — paying employees, buying from local suppliers, and generating tax revenue.

Jobs Are Preserved & Created

Funded businesses grow, hire, and thrive. Local investment directly supports employment in the neighborhoods where investors live.

Lenders Know What They're Funding

Unlike index funds, private lenders know the business, the owner, and the market. That knowledge produces better underwriting and more confident lending.

Faster Than Traditional Banks

Private loans close in 2–4 weeks. SBA loans take 3+ months. In a competitive acquisition market, speed is often the deciding factor.

Relationship-Based Returns

When you know the borrower and believe in the business, you lend with more confidence — and collect with more consistency.

A Cycle of Community Wealth

Capital funds a local business, earns interest, and returns to the lender at maturity — ready to fund the next San Diego opportunity.
