Understanding Equity Injection Requirements and Creative Financing Options [SBA 7a Loans]

Understanding Equity Injection Requirements and Creative Financing Options [SBA 7a Loans]

The video discusses equity injection requirements for SBA loans and creative financing options for small business owners. Equity injection refers to the amount of money a borrower contributes to a project as a percentage of the total project cost.

Lenders require equity injection to mitigate their risk and to ensure the borrower has a financial stake in the project. Equity injection requirements for SBA 7A loans vary depending on the loan purpose. For instance, for the acquisition of an existing business, a borrower generally needs to contribute at least 10% equity injection. However, banks may overlay this requirement, so it's best to work with a commercial mortgage advisor who can help you navigate and find the best loan option for your business.

The video also discusses creative financing options, such as negotiating with sellers to leave a portion of their equity on standby, bringing in partners to own less than 20% of the business being acquired, or finding a family member to gift the equity injection.

The video emphasizes that small business owners can acquire businesses using other people's money, which is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of, especially with many baby boomers retiring and not having a succession plan for their businesses. Finally, the video encourages viewers to reach out if they have any questions about SBA loans or general financing.
