Business acquisition loans let you purchase an existing company by financing the sale price, inventory, equipment, and working capital in a single package. Moor Lending Group brokers acquisition financing for buyers targeting established operations across Pomona, from the antique district storefronts on Second Street to manufacturing facilities near the 60 Freeway, assembling the documentation lenders require and matching you to the right capital structure.
Acquisition financing pays the purchase price of an operating business, typically covering goodwill, fixed assets, inventory, and initial working capital in one structured loan. Most deals we broker blend SBA 7(a) funds (up to 90 percent loan-to-value) with a seller note or buyer equity. The SBA product dominates because it stretches amortization to ten years and accepts reasonable down payments, turning what could be a seven-figure cash requirement into manageable monthly debt service. We also arrange bridge loans when speed matters and conventional acquisition lenders when the target company sits outside SBA eligibility.
Buyers use these funds to acquire retail shops in downtown Pomona, service franchises in the Colonies Crossroads trade area, and light-industrial businesses near the Pomona Metrolink station. The loan pays the seller at closing; you take ownership and begin repayment from operating revenue.
Lenders evaluate your management experience, credit profile (typically 680 minimum), liquidity for the down payment, and the target company's trailing twelve-month cash flow. SBA acquisition lenders want to see that you've run a similar operation or bring transferable skills, that the business generates enough profit to cover existing obligations plus the new debt, and that you're injecting at least ten percent equity. Seller financing of another ten percent strengthens every application because it signals the seller's confidence in the transition.
We walk Pomona buyers through documentation: personal and business tax returns, a purchase agreement with an asset schedule, interim profit-and-loss statements, lease-assignment letters, and a one-page narrative explaining why you're the right operator. Franchise acquisitions add the Franchise Disclosure Document; independent-business purchases require a third-party valuation if the deal exceeds certain thresholds.
We review your deal structure, identify which acquisition financing lenders will compete for it, and prepare a submission package that satisfies underwriting checklists before you waste weeks in back-and-forth requests. Our process begins with a twenty-minute call at (909) 737-1715 to confirm purchase price, down payment, your background, and the target's financials. We then request documents in priority order: signed letter of intent, trailing financials, rent roll or lease, and your liquidity statements.
Once the file is complete, we submit to two or three lenders simultaneously. SBA 7(a) acquisition loans often close in 45 to 60 days; bridge loans for business acquisition can fund in two weeks when the seller won't wait. Throughout underwriting we translate requests, chase missing signatures, and keep all parties aligned so you reach closing with confidence.
Consider a buyer pursuing a family-owned printing company near the intersection of Garey Avenue and Mission Boulevard. The seller provided three years of returns showing consistent EBITDA, a current customer contract list, and an equipment appraisal. The buyer brought ten years of print-production management and 15 percent cash toward the purchase. We brokered an SBA 7(a) acquisition loan covering 75 percent of the price, negotiated a ten-percent seller note amortized over five years, and closed in 52 days. Documentation included updated UCCs, a landlord estoppel, and a transition-services agreement, all assembled before submission so underwriting moved without delays.
Acquisition financing lenders fund businesses, not ideas, so every claim in your application must tie to a source document they can verify. The seller's tax returns prove historical revenue; your bank statements prove liquidity; the lease-assignment letter proves occupancy continuity. Missing or contradictory paperwork triggers decline letters. We build every submission around a checklist refined over hundreds of closings, catching gaps early and sourcing third-party reports (valuations, environmental Phase I surveys, franchise-compliance letters) that satisfy underwriting the first time.
Pomona's mix of legacy main-street businesses and newer logistics operations means acquisition deals vary widely in complexity. A retail storefront purchase requires simpler documentation than acquiring a contractor with bonding requirements and a vehicle fleet, and we tailor the package accordingly.
SBA loans
When SBA timelines or eligibility rules don't fit, we broker working-capital loans paired with seller carryback, equipment financing to fund the hard-asset portion, or short-term bridge loans that convert to permanent financing post-closing. Some sellers prefer an all-cash exit; others welcome structured payouts that defer capital gains. We coordinate with your attorney and CPA to align loan terms with tax strategy and succession planning.
For buyers targeting distressed assets or turnaround opportunities, invoice factoring can provide immediate working capital while you stabilize operations, and a business line of credit covers the gap between closing and your first full revenue cycle.
