Working With A Broker

Purchasing Options

SBA Loans

A Small Business Administration loan (SBA) is another alternative for purchasers. Finding a lender authorized to issue such a loan is not difficult, and several financing options help borrowers to get the right fit. Lending institutions benefit from the SBA guarantee, which promises to pay as much as three-fourths of a loan if a borrower defaults. Your business broker or SBA-certified lender can go over the details and requirements of this type of funding.

Mezzanine Funding

The mezzanine funding represents another option in financing when you are acquiring a company to add to your existing enterprise. The lenders in this type of funding are typically wealthy individuals looking to grow their capital quickly, so interest rates may be higher than average.

A combination of several funding sources may be necessary to put together a financial package that allows you to purchase a business. The expertise of Tampa Business Broker is invaluable in making sure that you explore all possible funding avenues and come up with a financing package that covers the purchase agreement.

I cannot begin to express my appreciation, elation, respect and happiness about my experience with Pete. I struggled through losing a business to covid last year and found solace in working with plants and flowers. Over time, that hobby developed into a thriving business that quickly outgrew me. In a split second decision, I decided to sell the little business I created in attempts to get the real professionals to come in and take over, in the nick of time. I told Pete that I needed to sell and I needed to sell fast. We listed on Monday, spoke to a potential buyer the same day and then accepted an offer on Friday. In a 5 day stretch, Pete helped me SO much and I will forever be grateful. If you are looking to buy or sell a business, please look no further than this man and his company. I highly recommend you hire Tampa Business Brokers.
