### FAQ

- **Is HBA Partners a lender?** No. The website positions HBA Partners as a vendor-agnostic capital aggregator and advisor, not as a single lender or product provider. The firm helps clients access and structure capital through institutional relationships.
- **Does HBA Partners guarantee financing?** No. HBA helps evaluate, source, and structure financing options, but outcomes depend on transaction facts, market conditions, capital-provider review, and client documentation.
- **What size transactions does HBA Partners discuss?** The site references a range from $1M to institutional scale. Current marketing copy uses "$1M–$20B" as a capability/range statement. Treat these figures as positioning language unless the client supplies verified transaction statistics.

- **How should someone contact HBA Partners?** Use [`/contact`](https://www.hbapartnersllc.com/contact) or [`/apply`](https://www.hbapartnersllc.com/apply). Do not invent direct phone numbers, addresses, or individual emails unless the client provides approved public contact details.
