Currently looking at a really great business that checks a lot of boxes for me, but Sellers are not budging off a price that is just too high for it. They are looking for###-###-#### 6m and it's probably worth###-###-#### 5m really. I understand they are hoping PE Firm swoops in and doesn't care about paying###-###-#### 6X EBITDA, but that is just not realistic for an individual buyer using an SBA loan (ie. Me). Are there any suggestions of ways to bridge the gap to not over tax the cash flow of the business, but still maybe get them closer to where they are looking to be based on future performance or something along those lines? Understand they would have to be open to it, but I honestly would like to have some ideas to propose and I don't know what is possible/allowed/smart, etc. Thanks so much in advance!
