Who needs to be involved when a business valuation creates a financing problem?

Sometimes, keeping an acquisition alive requires the entire deal team to work together.
In this restaurant acquisition, the business valuation came in approximately $100,000 below the negotiated purchase price. That created a financing gap that had to be addressed.

The buyer, seller, lender, business brokers and attorneys worked together to find a path forward. Ultimately, the purchase price was reduced by $45,000, and the remaining shortfall was addressed with additional cash.

The solution wasn't one person fixing the problem. It required coordination from everyone involved in the transaction.

Will a lender finance more than the business valuation?

In this restaurant acquisition, the answer was no. The valuation came in approximately $100,000 below the negotiated purchase price, creating a gap between what the lender would finance and what the buyer had agreed to pay.

But the deal didn't end there.

The buyer, seller, lender, business brokers and attorneys worked together to restructure the transaction. The purchase price was reduced by $45,000, and the remaining shortfall was addressed with additional cash.

Sometimes a valuation problem means the structure has to change, not that the acquisition has to end.

A business valuation came in approximately $100,000 below the negotiated purchase price. That created a problem that had to be solved if this restaurant acquisition was going to move forward.

The buyer, seller, lender, business brokers and attorneys worked together to restructure the transaction. The parties agreed to reduce the purchase price by $45,000, and the seller made up the remainder in cash.

Neither side had to absorb the entire valuation shortfall. Both sides made adjustments that gave the acquisition a path forward.

Sometimes a low valuation doesn't have to end the deal. The structure may need to change.

Our approach to structuring business merger and acquisition loans is forward-moving and does not allow for complacency.

At Lendway Capital Advisors, detailed upfront analysis helps improve success. We want to identify issues early, keep the process moving, and help serious buyers and brokers avoid unnecessary delays. We even encourage borrowers to pay for an appraisal or business valuation right after the commitment letter is signed so the transaction can accelerate instead of waiting around.

Time is the most valuable commodity we have. Let’s not waste it.

FAQ: What is an SBA 7(a) loan for a business acquisition?

An SBA 7(a) loan is a government-guaranteed financing program commonly used to purchase an established business, finance working capital, acquire equipment, or refinance certain eligible debt. The loan is made by a participating lender, not directly by the SBA.

The interest rate is only one part of the cost of an SBA loan.

Before moving forward, business buyers should understand both the rate structure and the potential fees involved.

Most SBA loans are variable and are typically based on the Prime Rate plus a spread. In addition, there may be an SBA fee tied to the guaranteed portion of the loan, along with transaction-specific costs such as attorney fees, appraisals, business valuations, and title-related expenses.

The exact costs depend on the transaction, which is why understanding the full structure matters before you get too far into the process.

Before you think about applying for an SBA loan, start with your paperwork.

For the initial underwriting review, that may include three years of business and personal tax returns, current-year P&L, balance sheet, debt schedule, personal financial statement, and, for an acquisition, a resume showing relevant experience.

Getting these documents organized early gives everyone a clearer picture of whether the financing request is feasible and what may need to be addressed before the process moves forward.

Preparation does not guarantee a closing, but it can make the financing process much easier to evaluate from the start.
