Business Acquisition Loan

Explains funding for purchasing an existing business.
What is a business acquisition loan?

A business acquisition loan provides funding to purchase an existing business. It is tailored to help business owners achieve immediate scalability and leverage the established customer base and revenue streams of the acquired company.

What business acquisition loan requirements should I be aware of?

Every business acquisition lender has different requirements, and each application form will have its own set of questions. For business acquisition loans, you may need to present a business plan, financials of both businesses, good credit history, and strong existing or projected cash flow from target business.

Additionally, you can expect to provide business registration details, tax and cash flow statements, and balance sheet—as is the case with most business loans.

Do you need collateral for a business acquisition loan?

You may need collateral to get a business loan to purchase a business. This could be property, equipment, or other valuable assets.

Can I get a loan to buy a business with existing debt?

Although it is possible, it is considerably harder. Because it is a riskier move, lenders may ask for additional collateral, a larger deposit, or a stronger financial profile.
