Durable ETA Chapter Session: Webinar with Ryan Furstenau from Live Oak Bank
Join us for a webinar to continue the conversation on SBA lending and acquisition financing with Ryan Furstenau of Live Oak Bank.
Ryan is a Senior SBA Loan Officer with national Preferred Lending Program authority and deep experience supporting acquisition entrepreneurs across third-party acquisitions, partner buy-outs, key employee purchases, franchises, and owner-occupied commercial real estate. Known for creative, cash-flow-focused deal structuring, Ryan brings a practical perspective on how lenders evaluate deals, structure financing, and help buyers move from interest to close.
Building on themes from the in-person lunch, Ryan will walk through practical considerations for acquisition financing, including SBA loan structures, lender approval criteria, cash flow analysis, working capital needs, goodwill and intangible asset financing, and common issues that can create friction in the lending process.
You do not need to have attended the lunch to join this session. While it extends the same conversation, this webinar is designed to stand on its own and deliver clear, actionable insights for any searcher, operator, or business owner exploring acquisition as a path to ownership.
Come ready to better understand how acquisition financing works—and how to approach deal structuring with more clarity and confidence.
