The SBA 7(a) financing process involves several crucial steps...

Two common roadblocks in SBA business acquisitions are life insurance and landlord negotiations.

  • Life Insurance: The SBA often requires a life insurance policy for the borrower. Start the application process ASAP to handle medical exams, underwriting, and paperwork without delays.

  • Landlord Negotiations: Securing lease transfers or getting landlord consent can be time-consuming. Engage with your landlord early to help them understand the requirements and to obtain necessary approvals.

Address both of these as early as possible to keep your closing on track.
