VIKING HELPS BUSINESS BUYERS IN FINANCING ACQUISITIONS
If you’re interested in buying a business but don’t have piles of money lying around, you’re not alone. Many dream of business ownership, but few have the available cash to simply purchase a business outright with a full cash offer. If this applies to your situation, you’ll be delighted to know that there are a variety of options for financing your purchase.
Financing Options
SBA-Backed Loans & Commercial Business Loans
Viking Mergers & Acquisitions has real-world experience helping buyers finance the purchase of a business. We’ve helped businesses and buyers get qualified and approved for loans, including SBA-backed loans which cover the majority of the expenses outside of the buyer’s cash deposit. Viking can help you:
- Determine how much of a loan you need
- Understand the difference between debt and equity arrangements
- Explore the various funding options that are available to you
- Ensure that you have access to all of the business paperwork—including financial statements, tax returns, and other information—that you need in order to obtain financing
- Assist you with lender contacts to help with the loan application process
Seller Financing
“Seller financing” is when the current business owner provides a loan to the buyer, essentially accepting a series of payments in lieu of receiving a full cash payment at the time of the sale. Some sellers are open to this, while others are not. Typically, a seller who finances part of the sale will require an initial down payment. The terms of seller financing vary widely depending on the seller and their situation. Our team can help you understand the various moving pieces and counsel you about how to structure your offer to be competitive and attractive for the seller, while preserving the flexibility you need and also fitting within your budget as it pertains to initial out-of-pocket cash.
