Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Really Happens When You Sign a Letter of Intent to Buy a Business
Q: I've signed a letter of intent to buy a business. I have the sellers, P&L, and my financials together. I went to my local bank. They don't seem interested in helping me finance this acquisition. The business, by the way, is a landscape business that does landscaping and builds outdoor patios. What happens now?
Hexine says the acquisition will likely need an SBA loan. He recommends working with an SBA-specialist lender that can underwrite 7(a) loans in-house, and describes how he can help structure the deal, prepare documents, and find lenders that may be more suitable than the buyer's local bank.
What Credit Score Do You Need for SBA Franchise Financing
Q: What role does your credit score play in SBA franchise financing, and what is the minimum score required to qualify?
Beau recommends a score of 680 or higher, but says lower scores may still qualify based on SBA credit scoring and lender requirements. He advises keeping utilization below 30 percent and paying down balances before applying.
Top Business Ideas for 25K and Part-Time Availability
Q: What type of business can I start with $25,000 saved and part-time availability after my manufacturing job?
Beau says financing may make some franchises with total project costs around $100,000 or more possible with a smaller down payment. Other options include vending, dog sitting, childcare staffing, home services, and waste management. The suitable choice depends on the buyer's availability, skills, market, capital, and eligibility for SBA financing.
How Much Does It REALLY Cost to Start a Franchise
Q: So how does SBA financing fit into this franchise ownership model?
Beau says SBA loans can fund 80% to 90% of startup costs, typically over a 10-year term, with interest based on prime plus a margin and no prepayment penalty. He generally prefers them to retirement-account rollovers or borrowing against a home.
How Much Does It REALLY Cost to Start a Franchise
Q: What's the typical out-of-pocket investment for starting a franchise?
Beau says total startup costs range from about $50,000 to several million dollars, with many options between $60,000 and $150,000. With 90% financing, the buyer may need roughly $6,000 to $15,000 out of pocket.
