About the Event

A Guide for Buyers and Sellers to Securing SBA Financing.

Finding the right business to buy is only the first step, securing SBA financing for online businesses is where the deal is truly won or lost. Unfortunately, there is a “plague of misinformation” regarding the SBA process that often causes acquisitions to collapse at the eleventh hour during underwriting.

To address these challenges, Flippa and Ecommerce Lending are hosting a specialized webinar to help buyers and sellers navigate the complexities of SBA 7(a) loans and alternative acquisition financing. Join Nick Carlucci (M&A Advisor at Flippa) and James Colin (Business Acquisition Manager at Ecommerce Lending) as they debunk common myths and provide a clear roadmap for digital deals.

Why attend:
Stop the guesswork and learn the actual requirements for SBA financing. You will get a straightforward roadmap to pre-qualify your deal, identify deal-killers early, and debunk common financing myths.
