Given the updated SBA SOPs, what have people seen on service businesses with licensure requirements? Are sellers rolling equity and willing to personally guarantee? Are buyers leveraging licensure from existing portcos/platforms? Are less of these deals getting done? Would love to hear creative ways folks have gone about it.

I have a PDF doc that helps with this I can share. Licensing depends so much state to state and business to business so it really depends what kind of licensing is needed, how many people can obtain it, etc.
