Stanley Mueller Capital Partners is looking for lenders who specialize in SBA loans for self funded searches. They must be comfortable with 80-90% debt. Our structure is 10-20% equity investment (from outside investors), 65% SBA loan and the rest in seller financing. We intend to buy businesses with recurring revenue, defensible market positions and 3 years of steady EBITDA growth. The seller should be an owner who is retiring and has worked 15+ years in the underlying business. We like value added distribution, manufacturers and business services.

If you have deals where seller financing is not an option, consider Libertas Funding. We can come in and underwrite the target company's financials, lending 10-20% of the company's annualized revenue up front, in a matter of 1-3 business days, which you can use to close the acquisition. PM me if interested in having a conversation.
