Finding the Right Path to Capital
Using SBA Loans to Finance Your Business
|
 The biggest obstacle people have when trying to buy a business stems from lack of down payment and little start-up capital. However, any VR Business Sales intermediary will explain that SBA-guaranteed loans are a great option that will become easier to obtain given the latest SBA bill that was signed into law. They are very attractive to small business buyers due to long-term financing and a low down payment.

Obtaining Fair Market Value
Valuing the Assets of the Business
|
 Every VR Business Sales intermediary understands the importance of fair market value when appraising a business to sell. Most business brokers merely rely on book value or the owner's best estimate; even an arbitrary discount or premium based on the type of asset involved. However, this is not correct. Through your VR Business Sales intermediary performing a business valuation, you will be able to arrive at fair market value - for example, assets, inventory, current revenue streams and intellectual property.
