Buy a Business with an SBA Loan

Buying an existing business can be one of the fastest ways to become a business owner — especially when the business already has cash flow, customers, and operating history.

SBA loans allow qualified buyers to acquire businesses with lower down payments, longer terms, and structured guidance through the acquisition process.

Serving California business buyers with SBA financing available nationwide.

Is SBA Financing Right for Buying a Business?

SBA loans are commonly used by first-time and experienced buyers purchasing existing businesses through Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA).

• First-time business buyers  

• Experienced operators expanding through acquisition  

• Buyers purchasing profitable, cash-flowing businesses  

• Individuals transitioning from employment to ownership

What an SBA Loan Can Cover When Buying a Business

• Business purchase price  

• Inventory and equipment  

• Goodwill  

• Working capital  

• Certain acquisition-related costs

SBA loans are designed to support full business acquisitions — not just the purchase price.

SBA Loan Terms for Business Acquisition

• Down payments typically starting around 10%  

• Loan amounts up to $5,000,000  

• Terms up to 10 years for business acquisitions  

• Cash flow–based underwriting

The strength of the business cash flow is often more important than personal income.

What Lenders Review When You Buy a Business

• Historical cash flow of the business  

• Buyer experience and management ability  

• Purchase price vs. earnings  

• Down payment source  

• Overall deal structure

This is where clean loan packaging and proper positioning make a major difference.

How the SBA Business Acquisition Process Works

1. Review the target business and acquisition structure  

2. Prepare lender-ready financial packaging  

3. Submit to the appropriate SBA lender  

4. Navigate underwriting, approval, and closing  

Our role is to guide you through each step so there are no surprises.
