Momentum is everything in a deal. And delays? They’re momentum killers.
In our latest Pioneer Buy-Side Brief, Matthias breaks down the 5 biggest deal-killers that slow down SBA acquisitions—and more importantly, how to stay ahead of them.
From lease issues and life insurance delays to missing entity docs and licensing nightmares, we’ve seen it all.

SBA deals have a lot of moving parts
Your lender, attorney, and QofE provider all play key roles

If you’re under LOI or thinking about buying a business, this is a must-read.
We’ve closed 90+ SBA deals at Pioneer Capital Advisory—this is the playbook we wish every buyer had upfront.
