When to Post a Deal?

by a searcher from University of Nebraska - Omaha

I've encountered some information that is customary to include your financing structure to sellers via an IOI/LOI.  I'm looking to combine personal capital, SBA debt, and outside capital to fund a selected deal.  Is it also customary to submit LOI's before investors are fully locked in?  What about submitting a deal to the SearchFunder platform before an LOI is submitted to solicit investors?

If not already apparent, I'm searching for my very first deal--so any commentary surrounding my intentions or stated capital structure would be welcome!

From a financing perspective, we do work on deals where the capital is not finalized when the LOI is executed but prefer there to be relationships already in place beforehand so there is a strong likelihood the capital can be gotten. If you would like to discuss financing strategies, I would be more than happy to do so at any time. You can reach me here or at --@----.com Good luck.
