Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

Same industry deal structure

I am looking at a company in the same industry as our current company. Hoping for some advice on ways to structure. A few questions have come up.
(Pardon my ignorance.)

1. I heard a podcast recently of a holdco bringing in an operator to carry the SBA note. Seems like that operator would hold quite a bit of equity for that to happen. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the holdco?

2. Could you go the subsidiary route with a majority stock purchase if the owner wants to stay involved?

3. If an outright asset purchase, could one partner of the parent company carry the SBA note for the acquisition?

There are many different strategies you can employ if you are looking to roll-up other companies. However, there is some more information I would need before I can provide you effective advice. Technically the answers to the questions you asked above are "Yes" to all, but I do not think that will provide you the detail you need. I would be happy to get on a call to discuss different financing options including utilizing SBA financing. You can reach me here or directly at redacted
