Beyond SBA: Financing your Small Business Acquisition

​Buying a small business is only half the equation. The other half is figuring out how to finance the acquisition.

​In this 45-minute webinar, we’ll break down the financing options available to entrepreneurs looking to acquire a small business in 2026—and what to consider when building a capital stack.

​We’ll cover:

• ​SBA financing: Where it fits, how it works, and when it may not be the best option.

• ​Seller financing: How seller notes can help bridge the gap between buyer equity and purchase price.

• ​Conventional debt: What banks and other lenders look for in an acquisition.

• ​Equity & private capital: When bringing in outside investors can make sense.

• ​Alternative financing: Other creative ways buyers are funding acquisitions.

• ​Building the deal: How to think about leverage, equity, cash flow, and risk when putting together an acquisition.

​Whether you’re actively searching for a business, evaluating your first deal, or simply curious about entrepreneurship through acquisition, this session will give you a practical framework for understanding how acquisitions get financed.
