SBA Loan possible?

I have been looking at a few companies that I can acquire. These are SaaS companies. Here are the details:

  1. They have a healthy cash flow ~1M in revenue, 600k in SDE, and have been showing consistent growth in the last 3 years. 

    2. They are currently owned by non US citizens and hence I am assuming these cannot be funded by SBA
  2. Priced to be around $2- 2.5M
    Is there a way to get SBA funding for this acquisition? If not, what is a creative way to close this deal other than a full seller note?

I am wondering if we can negotiate something like this

  1. Negotiate an annuity deal or a hybrid deal with a balloon payment at the end of 2 years.
  2. Create a US entity with me (US Citizen) as the majority owner
  3. Acquire the assets of the company into this newly formed entity
  4. Use the 2 years to grow the company and start paying on the note.
  5. Build the history in 2 years for SBA to refinance the seller note - which will be used to do the balloon payment.

Is this possible to do? Would conventional loans or SBA lend money to refinance the note?

Thanks

love this creativity to try and get a deal done. Interested to hear how it ends up. Where are you finding your deals, direct to seller or a broker?
