Currently working on a few deals ($1mm+ EBITDA) that are not a great fit for SBA financing. The deals I'm looking at have at least one of the following characteristics:
- Loan size > $5mm
- Owner wants to roll equity
- Owner will continue to play an active roll in the company post-close
What are my options for financing these deals outside of the SBA? Ideally, we'd like to keep our equity at 1x-2x EBITDA and debt at 2x-4x EBITDA. Should I look to SBICs and other mezzanine lenders or are there more conventional options I should pursue first?
Happy to connect with lenders that play in this space.
