The Challenge
The agency had an opportunity to acquire a competitor with $2.4M in annual billings and 6 established client relationships. Purchase price was $580,000. SBA timeline was 75+ days but the seller had a 45-day deadline.
The Solution
Business term loan for $520,000 at 13.5% over 5 years with $60,000 equity. Monthly payment: $11,800. Funded within 14 days.
The Result
Acquisition closed on schedule. Combined agency reached $4.1M in annual billings within 12 months. The acquired client relationships proved immediately valuable. Plan to refinance with SBA at better rates after establishing combined track record.
“The seller had a deadline. SBA would have taken 75+ days minimum. The term loan let us close the deal. Yes, the rate is higher, but we captured $2.4M in billings. We will refinance with SBA in a year at better rates.”
