We needed a blend of institutional and private debt for a healthcare deal. Yaw Capital pulled it together seamlessly.
For acquisitions under $5 million, the SBA 7(a) loan program remains the single most powerful tool available to business buyers. These government-backed loans are designed to encourage entrepreneurship, making it possible for buyers to acquire existing companies with favorable terms and minimal upfront capital. Yaw Capital specializes in helping entrepreneurs and investors leverage SBA acquisition financing to close deals in the Main Street and lower middle market sectors.
Unlike a traditional bank loan, an SBA loan allows for flexible structures, long repayment terms, and the inclusion of goodwill and working capital as part of the financing package. That means buyers can finance the purchase of cash-flowing businesses in industries like healthcare, technology, logistics, eCommerce, retail, and business services without having to raise excessive equity.
Yaw Capital connects qualified buyers to SBA Preferred Lenders and institutions that know how to move quickly. We structure SBA acquisition financing for:
First-time buyers
acquiring a profitable small business.
Individual investors and executives
transitioning into entrepreneurship.
Partner buyouts and generational transfers
where continuity is critical.
Roll-up strategies
and add-on acquisitions under $5M.
Buyers
who require financing for goodwill, inventory, or working capital in addition to the purchase price.
Most SBA deals fall apart not because the business isn’t strong, but because the buyer didn’t have the right partner to navigate the loan process. At Yaw Capital, we go beyond introductions to SBA lenders. We negotiate on your behalf, anticipate underwriting concerns, and manage the documentation requirements that often overwhelm buyers. Our expertise ensures that your SBA loan application moves smoothly from LOI to closing, saving you time and protecting your deal momentum.
