Business Acquisitions - Financing & Lender Placement

Business Acquisition Financing for Your Next Opportunity

Buying an established business or franchise? Market Direct Capital™ helps structure acquisition financing and identify suitable private, bank, and SBA funding options.

Finance the Purchase of an Existing Business

Acquiring a business requires more than financing the purchase price. Lenders consider the company's historical cash flow, valuation, existing obligations, customer relationships, and the buyer's experience and financial capacity.

Market Direct Capital™ helps evaluate the transaction, organize the financing request, and identify lending sources suited to the buyer and business.

Depending on the structure, financing may cover eligible acquisition costs and associated working capital. Terms and eligibility are subject to lender underwriting and applicable program rules.

Acquisition Financing Opportunities

  • Purchase an established operating business
  • Acquire an eligible franchise location
  • Finance a qualified ownership transition
  • Support acquisition-related working capital
  • Structure a transaction involving seller financing
  • Evaluate financing for multi-location expansion

What Makes an Acquisition Financeable?

Lenders evaluate whether the acquired business can support the proposed debt while maintaining sufficient cash flow for ongoing operations. Historical results, normalized earnings, customer concentration, and transition risk can materially affect financing terms.

Buyer equity, management experience, collateral, seller participation, and a credible transition plan can also influence the structure. No specific loan amount or approval is guaranteed.

Common Underwriting Considerations

  • Historical cash flow and debt service coverage
  • Purchase price and business valuation
  • Buyer experience, credit, and equity
  • Business and seller financial documentation
  • Customer concentration and transition risks
  • Real estate, equipment, and other collateral
  • Seller financing and transaction terms

Evaluate Funding Options

Assess private capital, conventional bank, and eligible SBA or USDA financing.
