This deal looks prime for SBA lending, based on size. Don't give up equity if you don't have to. Private debt is going to be costly at this small scale.

Hi Bryant - I'd love to discuss with you. My firm, Libertas Funding, is a best-in-class revenue and cashflow-based lender providing unsecured, non-dilutive debt for acquisitions. We allow a buyer to effectively leverage the target company's financials and cashflows up front in the purchase price. We can fund up to $5M, and unlike SBA, our funding does not require a PG. We can turn around an offer in as little as 1-3 business days upon document receipt. Email me at --@----.com if you'd like to discuss financing options! Thanks.
