Commercial Lending

Business Acquisition Financing

Funding to acquire a business, buy out a partner, or expand.

Buying an established business often makes more sense than starting from scratch. SBA 7(a) is the workhorse program for business acquisitions in Florida — with up to 90% financing for qualifying deals.

We help buyers structure the acquisition, source SBA 7(a) or conventional acquisition financing, and coordinate with your CPA and attorney through closing.

Available to qualified Florida borrowers statewide — including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and the Panhandle.
