BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS DETAILS

Buy a Business with a Top-Five SBA Preferred Lender

Looking to buy a business? Partner with Celtic Bank.

While many lenders won’t consider financing a business acquisition unless you put up to 30% down, with Celtic you can buy the business with as little as 10% down. Beyond equity injection, Celtic considers crucial mitigating factors in our loan decisioning, like historical cashflow, credit history, your industry and management experience.

Our 360-degree approach to reviewing a business purchase enables us to find lending solutions that other lenders don’t. We’ve helped borrowers buy the business of their dreams, in dozens of industries, at low rates and with longer repayment terms.

On top of affordable terms, when you buy a business with a top-five Preferred SBA lender like Celtic Bank, your loan application is approved in-house instead of being sent to the SBA for approval. This accelerates your time to funding.

So whether this is your first time buying a business, or you are a seasoned business owner looking to expand—partner with a lender that makes buying a business smooth, simple and affordable.

BENEFITS OF BUYING A BUSINESS WITH SBA FINANCING

Why Buying a Business with an SBA 7(a) Loan Is Worth It

So you’re thinking about buying a business. From bank loans, short term loans, to seller financing and private investing—business owners have more financing options than ever. But many short-term funding options carry high interest rates and large monthly payments. More traditional bank loans can require more money down and have strict credit requirements. SBA 7(a) loans are an ideal vehicle for buying a business.

Longer Terms

With an SBA 7(a) loan, repayment periods can be 10 to 25 years—keeping your payments low and your cash flow high. But with no balloon payments and a manageable 3-year pre-payment penalty you have the option to pay off your loan sooner.

If you were to go with a traditional bank loan, you may be subjected to steep pre-payment penalties.

Longer Interest Rates

The SBA sets caps and guidelines for loan interest rates, preventing your interest expense from spiraling out of control. Because of these guidelines, the interest rate for SBA 7(a) loans is one the most competitive on the market.

High Approval Rates

Because SBA 7(a) loans are guaranteed up to a certain percentage by the federal government, your lender’s risk is minimized. For you, that means credit requirements are not as strict as typical conventional loans and structuring may be more flexible.

As a top-five nationwide SBA lender with years of experience, we are able to see strengths that other lenders may miss.

Faster to Close

When you apply for an SBA 7(a) loan with a preferred SBA lender, your loan application is approved in-house instead of being sent to the SBA. This accelerates your time to funding considerably.
