Summary

I run a website that publishes educational content about small business acquisitions, SBA loans, commercial lending, business financing, underwriting, and related topics. I am looking for a U.S.-based subject-matter expert to review articles for factual accuracy before publication. This is not a ghostwriting job. I will provide the article drafts. Your role will be to review the content, flag anything inaccurate or misleading, suggest corrections, and help ensure the article reflects real-world U.S. lending standards and terminology. Important: I am looking for a real, credentialed expert with a verifiable public identity. Requirements: - Must use your real legal/professional name. No aliases, pen names, or anonymous profiles. - Must be U.S.-based or have substantial direct experience with U.S. SBA/commercial lending. - Must have verifiable credentials and professional experience in at least one of the following areas: - SBA lending - SBA 7(a) or 504 loans - Commercial lending - Business acquisition financing - Loan underwriting - Business banking - Credit analysis - Small business finance - Business valuation, M&A, or acquisition due diligence - Must have a professional LinkedIn profile. - Strong preference for candidates with an extensive web presence, such as expert profile pages, company bio pages, published articles, podcast appearances, conference/speaker pages, expert witness profiles, industry directories, or other credible professional pages across the web. - Your credentials and professional background must be publicly verifiable. - You must be comfortable being listed on the website as a reviewer using your real name and credentials, such as: “Reviewed by [Name], [Title/Credentials].” - You must be comfortable having a short professional bio page on the website, including links to your LinkedIn profile and other professional profile pages. - You must be willing to disclose that this is a paid expert review relationship where appropriate. Scope of work: - Review article drafts, usually 1,000–2,000 words each. - Check for factual accuracy, especially around SBA loans, commercial lending, underwriting, borrower requirements, debt service coverage, collateral, guarantees, seller financing, business acquisition financing, and related topics. - Flag statements that are inaccurate, misleading, outdated, overly broad, or risky. - Suggest corrections or clarifications in plain English. - Optionally provide short expert quotes or comments that may be included in the article. - Confirm when an article is acceptable to publish with your reviewer attribution. This is not a request to “rent” a name or use a fake byline. I am looking for a legitimate expert reviewer who will actually review the material and approve only content they are comfortable being associated with. Ideal candidate: - Former or current SBA lender, commercial loan officer, credit analyst, SBA underwriter, business banker, business acquisition finance advisor, M&A advisor, CPA, valuation expert, or fractional CFO. - Experience with U.S. small business financing and acquisition financing. - Clear communication and practical feedback. - Comfortable working on an ongoing but part-time/as-needed basis. Please include in your proposal: 1. Your relevant U.S. SBA/commercial lending experience. 2. Your credentials, licenses, certifications, or professional background. 3. Links to your LinkedIn profile and any other public expert/profile pages. 4. Your rate for reviewing a 1,000–2,000 word article. 5. Typical turnaround time. 6. Whether you are comfortable being listed as “Reviewed by [Your Name]” with a short public bio. 7. Any topics you are especially qualified to review. Budget: I am open to either hourly or fixed-price per article. Since this is review/fact-checking rather than writing, I am hoping to find a cost-effective expert for light review work, with the option for ongoing assignments if the first article goes well.
