Has anyone used ROBS or paid the IRS Tax+Penalty?

Hello-
I am in process of determining to use my traditional IRA as a 401k/ROBS conversion C-Corp route for SBA loan or deciding if I use the traditional or the ROTH and take the early withdraw on IRA earnings w the income tax hit + 10% penalty. I have already pulled contributions.
Does anyone have experience deciding this? The business itself does $1.5MM annually / 580k EBITDA. FF&E $188k. I am buying the real estate also $1.6MM for total asking $3.1MM. Trying to avoid ROBS by hoping I can avoid the LLC/Scorp income tax, Is that possible with enough deductions as a pass thru S-Corp? Will the FF&E support it?
Appreciate any advice
