SBA acquisition loan path
Usually fits when the buyer has cash down, the business has stable cash flow, and the purchase price needs a longer amortization schedule.

Recommended next stepStart with loan amount and cash down
Add the target loan amount and cash down so you can see which funding path is most realistic.
Lender packet
Give financing partners the deal story, not just a form.
Use the calculator and market analyzer to bring cash down, DSCR, seller financing, local demand, and buyer context into one cleaner funding profile.
Funding paths
Choose the path that matches the deal.
Most first-time buyers do not need every lender at once. They need the right questions, the right documents, and a funding path that fits the size and structure of the acquisition.
Seller note plus small loan
Useful for smaller acquisitions where seller financing reduces risk and the buyer needs less bank capital.
Liquidity planning
Helpful when the target looks interesting but cash down, reserves, or credit profile may block lender conversations.
