  1. Top 4 Financing Options for Buying a Business

  2. What are the best loans for buying a business When it comes to buying a business, most entrepreneurs aren’t paying cash. Instead, they are using loans to buy an existing business. Financing the purchase of an established business can be helpful because it splits up the cost over an extended period, rather than requiring a lump sum upfront. Plus, it opens the possibility of business ownership for countless individuals who would otherwise be unable to purchase an existing company. In this presentation, we will outline the most common types of financing used for buying a business , and consider a few other things that would be helpful to know if you’re thinking about business ownership.

  3. Starting the Process The first step in buying a business is ensuring you understand the company you’re interested in acquiring. That means doing your own due diligence (don’t just rely on a business broker). You’ll want to request their financial documents, clearly understand all business assets and liabilities, and have an accurate business valuation.

  5. Conclusion Buying a business can be a great way to fulfill your dream of becoming an entrepreneur or growing your existing company. However, most small business owners do not have the capital required. For business owners with good credit scores, an SBA Loan can provide excellent terms, but a conventional loan may be faster and easier to get. Alternatively, seller financing may be an option that comes with additional benefits. Finally, some may consider pulling from their retirement savings to make an acquisition, but this can be very risky.
