Led by Dennis Tynes, a seasoned SBA lender with over 30 years of experience, our team brings a personal, hands-on approach to financing, bridging the gap where traditional banks fall short. We specialize in SBA 7(a) and 8(a) loans, offering up to $5 million with low equity requirements to fuel your vision. Our commitment? To be your trusted advisor, delivering tailored solutions that spark success—one business at a time.
OUR STORY
Sprout SBF began with a simple but urgent question. Why do so many promising small businesses fail before they ever get a fair shot?
Founded by Dennis Tynes, a strategic consultant with deep roots in finance and branding, Sprout was built to answer that question with action. We exist to help entrepreneurs start strong, stay resilient, and grow with confidence. Whether it is navigating the maze of SBA lending, shaping a brand that connects, or being the voice of reason during a tough decision, we show up with clarity and care.
We believe small businesses are the heartbeat of every community. But too often, they are left out of the conversation, overlooked by traditional lenders, and underserved by generic advice. That is where Sprout stands apart. We do not just offer funding. We offer partnership. We listen, we strategize, and we stay involved. If you need to talk on a Saturday, Dennis will pick up.
Our values of accessibility, trust, and innovation guide everything we do. We collaborate with local banks, SBDC advisors, and community leaders to make sure our clients are not just surviving but thriving. When small businesses grow, neighborhoods flourish, families prosper, and new opportunities take root.
Sprout SBF is not just a business. It is a movement to build stronger communities, one entrepreneur at a time.”
