You signed an LOI. Now what?

Too many buyers assume signing an LOI is the finish line. In reality, it’s just the beginning of the most critical 60–90 days in your acquisition journey. Here’s what happens after you sign the LOI (with SBA financing): – Due diligence kicks off—financial, legal, and operational – Lender prequal and deal structuring – Purchase agreement drafting (don’t wing it—get real M&A counsel) – SBA underwriting and approval – Closing prep: escrow, working capital, seller transition, etc. This is when momentum matters. And it’s where most deals hit friction. Pioneer helps clients navigate this process every week—keeping things tight, compliant, and lender-aligned. If you want a walkthrough of how to go from LOI to close the right way, shoot me a DM. #SBA #Acquisition #ETA #Searchfund #BusinessBuying #LOI #SMB
