I would like to buy a large business that cash flows but I need a lot of money to buy it, where do I start? I could leverage my house?
Have you spoken with a bank?
Check with SCORE
Are you or your business financing the acquisition? Do you have a down payment?
Have you considered learning more about business before buying?
Do you have 5x collateral that you can pledge??
SBA - I would actually recommend going to the seller and speak to their loan provider. They have experience with the business and would probably work with you to keep your business at their bank.
All in all depends on what industry you’re in but you can always raise and ask for a seller note
Is your house worth 6–7M?
There are plenty of private lenders but their fees are higher than banks but they have a higher appetite for risk.
