Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Ways around 10 year lease

Hi all,

I’m working on an LOI for a nice $500k SDE business but I already know the seller will sell the real estate 12-18m after close. Does this mean I can’t do SBA given 10yr lease requirement? Is there a way around that? Separately, how would you assess the risk of higher rent from a new building owner or even relocation?

Good response above here. Feel free to message me as well if you need any other help. Interesting how much more the RE will be worth compared to business

Great response from Brad, here. Also, as Billy states below, it is possible to work around the long-term lease requirement. A series of options works for most lenders.
