I work as an executive at a small-medium size niche technology company considering a standard SBA7A type acquisition outside of my industry where I provided most of the equity, with maybe some small minority investors. Now I am considering a larger company in my industry. The company is around $3M in EBITDA and growing fast, so probably looking at a 4-6x multiple.
Can anyone point me to resources on how to find the debt for a deal like this?
- who do I talk to for debt financing?
- What kind of terms are typical for this debt?
- How much equity is typically required?
For the equity portion, I expect to put in around $2-300k and raise the rest from limited partners with a typical preferred return and common equity. Any advice on the details (preferred rate of return, equity share at the end) would be appreciated.
