Alternate, no personal guarantee financing

by a searcher

May 20,2023

Hey all, 

Does anyone have experience raising capital for the purchase of a SMB (sub-$1m TEV) using debt financing sources that don't require a personal guarantee? 

So far, Boopos is the only one I've come across and would like to see if there are other options. 

Appreciate any guidance.

No PG, sure. Loan amount will be 70% of NOLV of tangible assets.

There is almost no market for such debt. What you are looking for is very high risk and will be too small for most private lenders. Your best bet is use personal savings in combination with a small raise from friends/family and cover the rest with seller debt financing.
