Business Acquisition Loans

Secure a business acquisition loan quickly with favorable terms

The financial recession that started in 2008 has affected nearly every aspect of the business world. The financing and banking industry has experienced perhaps the biggest change. Banks have become tight with credit and loan approval rates have dwindled as a result. Business acquisition loans are no exception. Banks that used to finance up to 80% of a purchase are now typically funding around 50%. This means larger down payments are required from the buyers and seller financing is becoming more and more common.

Now, here is some good news: Securing a business acquisition loan with more favorable terms IS possible. It simply requires a little more preparation and flexibility by both the buyer and seller.

That's where Biz2Credit comes in.

We specialize in matching borrowers with favorable sources of funding - sometimes up to five different lenders. We've developed a network of over 1,100 lenders to ensure that every one of our clients has the best possible chance of securing the small business loan they need to succeed.

Business acquisition loans are one of our specialties. We work individually with each borrower/purchaser to ensure that they present their very best face to the lenders. Here are some ways to prepare for success before applying for a business acquisition loan.

• What is the continued growth opportunity offered by the targeted company? It's important to look beyond a cheap purchasing price in order to truly understand the value of your purchase.
• Have you created a strategic targeted growth plan for your newly merged companies? Take the time to evaluate all aspects of both of your businesses. Lenders will appreciate seeing that you understand the ins and outs of company you are acquiring.
• Is your acquisition a good match for your current market and industry? Lenders might not feel comfortable financing an add couple merger.
• Consider using seller financing with a term of 5 to 10 years to buy a business. Lenders feel more confident funding acquisition deals that involve seller financing. Also, seller financing involves less paperwork and does not require an appraisal.
