Great article. Would you share your insight on the proportion of SBA guaranteed loans where buyers make the lowest (10%) permissible down payment / equity investment for their acquisition?

From my perspective of SMB done deals, few acquired businesses post-closing can adequately service acquisition (and other) debt unless buyers upfront make a larger than 10% investment.
