Buying a business or franchise

Paying for an existing business or a franchise.

What it is

Buying a business or a franchise is a use of funds, not one uniform loan. People pay with a term loan, a seller note, an SBA-guaranteed loan, or a mix, and each note has its own repayment schedule. It is commonly used when there is a specific purchase in mind.

What's typically needed

  • Latest three months of business bank statements
  • Time in business
  • A government-issued photo ID
  • A short description of the purchase. This form does not collect the contract.
