Lender required cash injection for a business with a $15 MM price tag

by an investor from New York University

I want to buy a contractor in the U.S. EBITDA is a little over $5 MM. Price is $15 MM. Seller is willing to finance part of the price (depending on what a lender would require). How big a cash injection would a bank typically require? SBA is not an option and there are not a lot of hard assets so this would have to be a cash flow loan.

You can probably get some non-bank lending sources as well, although this particularly deal must have some issues given the low multiple. Happy to discuss if you want to email me.
