I'd like to maximize the size of my business acquisition, but need to ensure I'll have enough operating capital after making the 10% SBA equity injection.
For self-funded searchers, what are your reliable sources of operating income post-acquisition? Personal funds that were left over after the 10% equity injection? Credit lines? Let me know your thoughts/strategy around this. Thank you!

Be careful with seasonally cyclical businesses - you'll want to understand the peak and trough of working capital throughout the year. In that case, you'll need monthly or quarterly data to incorporate into your modelling.
good luck
