Hi everyone, I’m evaluating a potential acquisition in the equipment distribution / authorized machinery reseller space and would really value some outside perspectives. The business has been around for a long time, carries well-known brands, and generates steady, service-driven recurring revenue from an established customer base. It’s primarily a regional distributor with some light service/maintenance work and strong historical financials. I don’t want to post specifics here, but if you have experience with: - Distribution businesses, - Machinery/equipment sales, - OEM-authorized dealer relationships, or - Operator-dependent organizations …I’d love to get your thoughts. If you’re open to taking a look, DM me and I’m happy to share the CIM and a bit more detail. Appreciate any guidance—this community is always helpful.

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. Happy to take a look at this deal with you. We can break down the cash flow, review your liquidity, and determine what rate and structure make the most sense. We can also recommend options that may help you secure better rates via the SBA. We have a lot experience equipment distribution companies via the SBA. If you ever need help talking through a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you.You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min.
