Searchfunder Post (Equity Partner Needed – SBA Acquisition in Arizona) Hi Searchfunder community. I’m under LOI to acquire a profitable Arizona-based manufacturing business, and I’m looking for an equity partner to fund the remaining 5% SBA equity injection ($175,000). The business 20+ years in operation with a strong reputation in its niche. Consistent growth with strong margins and profitability. The company already holds multiple patents. Clear upside: the business has grown without a formal sales organization. Our primary growth lever is to build a dedicated sales function (BD + distributor/channel development + key account expansion) to accelerate top-line growth while maintaining margin discipline. Transaction Purchase price: $3,500,000 Adjusted EBITDA (TTM): ~$771,000 Estimated free cash flow after debt service: ~$300,000/year (base case) Capital stack: SBA senior loan (majority) 20% seller financing The seller has been absent for over 2 years, and the strong management team has continued to grow the company. Seller is willing to stay on for at least 1 year 5% seller note on SBA standby 5% equity needed = $175,000 Investor offer $175,000 for 10% equity in the acquisition entity. Investor receives a preferred return, with a targeted payback within ~30 months from distributions (based on the base-case cash flow). After the preferred return is satisfied, the investor keeps the full 10% equity to participate in long-term upside as we scale the platform. About the operators I bring a background in finance and sales with a focus on consultative growth, relationship-driven business development, and operating discipline. My partner is a patent attorney, which is directly relevant given the company's existing patent portfolio and our focus on protecting and extending the company’s IP as we grow. If you’re interested, please DM me. Happy to share the teaser, underwriting, detailed EBITDA adjustments, and growth plan under NDA. Also open to investors who want to be helpful on the sales/channel build-out.
