There is a “truism” in our business: “Unless
you want to give your business away, if a business is not financiable,
it is not sellable.”
The three most important people in buying and/or selling a business
are:
We have established working relationships with well over 50 local,
national, major lenders that we would be glad to introduce you the Buyer to. There is no obligation
to use any of our Strategic Partner Lenders. Please note that each kind of
Lender has their own unique Lending Profile, including $ amount of the kinds
of loans they can or like to do, kinds of businesses they will and will not
deal with, etc. If you would like to know more as to how any of these sources
might help you, contact us.
- SBA Program Preferred Lenders: There are three levels of
SBA Program Lenders: General Lenders, Certified Lenders and Preferred
Lenders. Knowing the difference and why knowing can save you time
and money. Unless there are mitigating circumstances, we recommend
working with Preferred Lenders. We will be glad to explain why when
you contact us. Can you use both the 7(a) Program (for business acquisition)
and the 504 Program (for acquisition of long-term assets like: land,
building, machinery and equipment)? Perhaps. Over the years, we have
built excellent Strategic Partnerships with these people. If you
would like to know more as to how this source might help you, contact
us.
- Conventional Lenders: There are many Conventional Lenders
anxious to work with you and us to help finance your acquisition.
However, many different Conventional Lenders have businesses and
industries they like to invest in, and those they do not like to
invest in. Over the years, we have built excellent Strategic Partnerships
with these people. If you would like to know more as to how this
source might help you, contact us.
- Non-Conventional Lenders: There are many Non-Conventional
Lenders anxious to work with you and us to help finance your acquisition.
These are people who are not conventional banks, but are in the business
of loaning money to acquire businesses. And, like Conventional Lenders
they have businesses and industries they like to invest in, and those
they do not like to invest in. Over the years, we have built excellent
Strategic Partnerships with these people. If you would like to know
more as to how this source might help you, contact us.
- Loan Brokers: A Loan Broker is in the business of finding
the right Lender for “harder than normal to finance” business
acquisitions. This is a very specific skill set and we are fortunate
to have very good Strategic Partnerships with the best in the business.
And, like Conventional Lenders they have businesses and industries
they like to invest in, and those they do not like to invest in.
Over the years, we have built excellent Strategic Partnerships with
these people. If you would like to know more as to how this source
might help you, contact us.
- PEG’s and PIG’s: Private Equity Groups and Private
Investment Groups. These are very good sources for the acquisition
of larger businesses. These groups normally take an equity position,
rather than loan money. As you can imagine, they want an ROI and
an Exit Plan in a specified period of time. And, like Conventional
Lenders they have businesses and industries they like to invest in,
and those they do not like to invest in. Over the years, we have
built excellent Strategic Partnerships with these people. If you
would like to know more as to how this source might help you, contact
us.
- SBIC’s (Small Business
Investment Companies): The SBIC Program was started in 1958 by the SBA to fill the gap between
the availability of Venture Capital and the needs of “small
business” in
start-up and growth situations. This is a very unique program that
does not fit for everyone, but when it does, is quite a good financing
way of acquiring a company. They want an ROI and an Exit Plan in
a specified period of time. And, like Conventional Lenders they have
businesses and industries they like to invest in, and those they
do not like to invest in. Over the years, we have built excellent
Strategic Partnerships with these people. If you would like to know
more as to how this source might help you, contact us.
- Special High-Net-Worth People Representatives: These special
High-Net-Worth People Representatives have Clients that have created
and/or inherited significant wealth. Some of these High-Net-Worth
People still like to invest in people and/or “things.” When
these High-Net-Worth People consider investing, they have very different
investment criteria and profiles. They want an ROI and an Exit Plan
in a specified period of time. Like Conventional Lenders they have
businesses and industries they like to invest in, and those they
do not like to invest in. Over the years, we have built excellent
Strategic Partnerships with these people. If you would like to know
more as to how this source might help you, contact us.
- International Money People and/or Their
Representatives: Very similar to special High-Net-Worth People and/or Their Representatives,
except they are based outside the United States. If you would like
to know more as to how this source might help you, contact us.
