Example Loan Scenarios:

1

SBA 7(a) Loan for Partner Buyout – $3,500,000

Our team understands lender priorities, underwriting logic, and market shifts. This allows us to structure smart, bank-aligned deals that protect our clients’ interests.

  • Loan Structure:

    • Loan Type: SBA 7(a) – Partner Buyout

    • Loan Amount: $3,500,000

    • Term & Amortization: 10 years fully amortized

    • Interest Rate: Variable, indexed to either SOFR, Prime, or U.S. Treasuries

    • Typical spread: +2.00% to +3.00%, based on borrower’s credit profile and business cash flow

    • Prepayment: No prepayment penalty

    • Collateral: Business assets and personal guarantees

    • Use of Funds: 100% allocated to equity buyout

  • Equity Injection Requirement:

    • SBA guidelines require a minimum equity injection of 10% of the total project cost

    • In this case, the borrower must contribute $350,000 in cash or documented assets

    • If the business has strong historical cash flow and the buyer is an existing owner, lenders may consider waiving additional collateral requirements

  • Key Considerations:

    • SBA 7(a) loans are ideal for partner buyouts due to their flexibility and longer amortization

    • Lenders will evaluate the business’s debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), typically requiring a minimum of 1.25x

    • The borrower’s personal credit, liquidity, and management experience are critical to underwriting
