I’m evaluating SBA-backed acquisitions and would appreciate lessons learned from those who’ve closed: what part of the process took the longest or created the most stress? For those who included seller notes or earnouts—what structures worked well post-close, and which ones created unexpected issues? Searchers who raised equity: what expectations did investors have that you didn’t fully appreciate until you were operating the business?

Hey Willie, I would love to discuss what I've seen in SBA lending and be a resource for your search if needed
