Your biggest customer just placed a bigger order.

Good news. Until you calculate what it takes to deliver it.

More inventory. More payroll. More cash going out before the customer’s payment comes in.

If your bank has capped your line of credit, that gap can put pressure on an otherwise growing business.

Lendway Capital Advisors helps established businesses explore asset-based lines of credit through funding partners, using eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment to support working capital needs.

Have the orders, but need the capital to fulfill them?

Buying the next business is only part of your growth plan. You still have to run it after closing.

Payroll keeps coming. Suppliers need payment. The transition takes resources.

A buy-and-build strategy needs a financing plan that considers both the acquisition and the working capital needed afterward.

At Lendway Capital Advisors, we help business owners evaluate acquisition financing through SBA and pari passu structures with our funding partners, based on the business, the buyer, and the transaction.

Before you pursue your next acquisition, put the financing conversation on the calendar.

The buyer loves the business. The seller likes the offer. Then financing exposes a problem nobody caught.

An addback that won’t hold up. Cash flow that doesn’t support the proposed debt. A structure that needs to change.

For business brokers, finding those issues before listing can save valuable time once a buyer comes along.

Lendway Capital Advisors offers a business debt-service analysis that reviews the financials, examines addbacks, and helps identify a workable financing structure with our funding source.

Your next listing deserves more than a price tag. It deserves a financing conversation.

Imagine buying a business, only to watch its customers walk away before you even own it.

That's exactly what happened to two machinists acquiring a precision machining company in the Southeast.

During SBA underwriting, several long-time customers left. Expected revenue was at risk, and the purchase price had to be renegotiated.

But these buyers did something unexpected.

They started winning customers back before they even owned the business.

Their efforts saved those relationships, while we helped navigate the changing transaction and secure $1.8 million in SBA 7(a) acquisition and working capital financing.

Not every acquisition follows the original plan. Sometimes, it's how you respond to the unexpected that determines whether the deal gets done.

Why wait for final loan approval to start moving things forward?

When it comes to business acquisitions, unnecessary delays can put an entire transaction at risk.

At Lendway Capital Advisors, we believe in taking a proactive approach from the start.

Our detailed upfront financial analysis helps identify potential issues early, while our forward-moving deal structuring keeps the process on track.

We even encourage borrowers to consider ordering their appraisal or business valuation once the commitment letter is signed, rather than waiting for final approval.

Why? Because getting ahead of these steps can help accelerate the transaction.

We don't believe in letting acquisition financing sit idle when there's an opportunity to move forward.

🚨 What happens when a business starts losing customers in the middle of SBA acquisition underwriting?

For two machinists purchasing a precision machining company, that became a very real problem.

Long-time customers were leaving, expected revenue was declining, and the purchase price had to be renegotiated.

But here's where the story gets interesting. 👇

The buyers weren't even owners yet, but they personally reached out to those customers and managed to save the relationships!

Meanwhile, we navigated the purchase price changes and financing adjustments, helping secure a $1.8 million SBA 7(a) acquisition and working capital loan.

💡 The lesson? Unexpected problems don't necessarily have to kill an acquisition. How quickly everyone responds can make all the difference.

When comparing financing for a business acquisition, the interest rate tends to get most of the attention.

But what does the loan require from you after closing?

Conventional commercial financing can include requirements involving minimum net worth, fixed-charge coverage, liquidity and debt-to-equity ratios. Violating a covenant can create serious problems even when monthly payments have been made on time.

That’s one reason the structure behind the financing deserves a closer look.

The best comparison isn’t simply rate vs. rate.

It’s structure vs. structure.

Getting an acquisition financed is one thing.

Understanding what happens to that financing several years from now is another.

SBA loans are fully amortized over a 10- or 25-year loan schedule. By comparison, many conventional small-business loan programs balloon after 3–5 years, potentially requiring the borrower to renew, refinance, move the loan, or pay it off.

That distinction can matter considerably when you’re planning an acquisition for the long term.

Don’t evaluate business acquisition financing based only on what gets you to closing. Look at the structure you’ll be living with afterward.

Buying a business requires capital. But putting more of your available cash into the acquisition than necessary can limit what you have left after closing.

One reason SBA financing can be so valuable is the ability to finance up to 75% of the transaction.

That can leave more of your capital available for the business itself instead of tying everything up in the purchase.

For acquisition-minded business owners, the financing structure matters just as much as getting the deal funded.

Lendway Capital Advisors helps analyze and structure qualifying business acquisitions before they move forward.

Who needs to be involved when a business valuation creates a financing problem?

Sometimes, keeping an acquisition alive requires the entire deal team to work together.
In this restaurant acquisition, the business valuation came in approximately $100,000 below the negotiated purchase price. That created a financing gap that had to be addressed.

The buyer, seller, lender, business brokers and attorneys worked together to find a path forward. Ultimately, the purchase price was reduced by $45,000, and the remaining shortfall was addressed with additional cash.

The solution wasn't one person fixing the problem. It required coordination from everyone involved in the transaction.
