Background

The Need

The entrepreneur needed to value the business and finance the acquisition.

Financial Solution

After understanding the nature of the business, Biz2Credit recommended that the entrepreneur conduct an appraisal of the business's going-concern value and apply for a loan through the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) business and industry program. The entrepreneur received a loan for 75 percent of the business price. Additionally, Biz2Credit suggested the seller to provide 5 percent as a seller note.
