Raising funding for much bigger deal as a self-funded searcher

I planned my search around using SBA loan. My proprietary search however led me to a 3M+ ebitda deal which is valued at close to $15M. Can anyone share their experience raising capital for such significant deals. Is it common/feasible without committed capital?

We've invested in many deals like this in the past. It's on the lower end of our criteria, but happy to discuss options. Good luck!

This should be EASY to finance. No personal guarantee. Wouldn't need SBA either. Mezzanine lenders would love this. SBIC lenders would love this deal. If you need help, let me know. I am advising searchers on fundraising currently and could advise you if needed.
