In short
A loan packager is a professional who helps assemble and organize your loan application documents for an SBA lender. They can streamline the process, but they often charge a fee.
While not always necessary, a good loan packager can help ensure your Form 1919, financial projections, and other required documents meet lender and SBA standards. They can be particularly useful for complex deals or if you lack experience with SBA loan applications. Verify their experience and fees upfront.
