How much business can you really afford to buy?

In SBA acquisitions, your buying power is determined less by your ambition… and more by your liquidity. Why it matters: – Pre-close liquidity = down payment + closing costs – Post-close liquidity = contingency buffer (required by lenders) Here’s a simple rule of thumb: – $250K in cash ≈ $2.0M–$2.5M total deal size …if structured correctly. Misjudge this and you’ll either (1) fall short with lenders or (2) overextend post-close. At PCA, we help buyers reverse-engineer their budget, pressure-test deal sizes, and structure in seller notes or outside capital where needed.
