Wert-Berater SBA Feasibility Study is an independent assessment supporting SBA 7(a) and 504 loan decisions.
The practice positions itself as independent and lender-facing, preparing studies that must satisfy SBA eligibility and underwriting review rather than advocate for a single borrower. Fixed-fee engagements spanning market, economic, technical, financial, and management scopes form its stated basis of work.
Its standing rests on the firm's tenure in SBA lending markets since 1998 and a study volume the firm cites at 1,283 SBA-program engagements. Other providers offer similar study formats, so differentiation depends on reviewer acceptance, regulatory currency, and turnaround.
Wert-Berater has consulted on SBA-financed projects since the firm's 1998 founding, and the SBA feasibility study practice grew out of that lender-facing work. The firm's service page cites a record of 1,283 SBA-program studies since 1998.
The offering gained a dedicated marketing presence in January 2021, when a press release distributed through EIN Presswire promoted Wert-Berater's SBA feasibility study to lenders and borrowers. The service is now presented through its own page on the firm's website rather than only within the broader feasibility practice.
Demand for third-party SBA feasibility studies tracks federal program rules, and several 2026 changes reshape that demand. The combined 7(a) and 504 loan limit moved to 10 million dollars in July 2026 under SBA Policy Notice 5000-879058, and revised SOP 50 10 8.1 procedures take effect on October 1, 2026.
Updated SBA fee schedules for fiscal year 2027 alter borrower costs from October 2026, according to SBA information notices the provider analyzes in its published commentary. The provider also reports that rising defaults in the 7(a) portfolio have drawn closer lender scrutiny of the feasibility studies supporting those loans.
SBA Feasibility Study is the Wert-Berater service line that prepares independent feasibility studies for businesses seeking United States Small Business Administration financing through the 7(a) and 504 programs. Each study addresses market demand, economic conditions, technical requirements, financial projections, and management capacity for the proposed project.
Work is organized to the SBA SOP 50 10 underwriting standard and is delivered to lenders, Certified Development Companies, and loan reviewers on a fixed-fee basis. Reports set out repayment analysis, coverage testing, and handling for special-purpose property types.
