Frequently asked questions

How does buyer qualification work?+

You share your criteria, capital structure and timeline. MRA then schedules a conversation to understand fit before matched opportunities are introduced.

How are businesses valued?+

Many owner-operated businesses are considered through a multiple of Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, together with factors such as industry, growth, customer concentration, transferability and the quality of the records.

Can a buyer use SBA financing?+

SBA 7(a) lending is a common financing route for small-business acquisitions. Requirements and terms change, so it is helpful to involve an experienced lender early.

What is seller financing?+

Seller financing is a note paid to the seller over time rather than all at closing. It can reduce upfront cash needs and may be part of an acquisition structure.

Do I need industry experience?+

Not always. Management ability, financial literacy and the willingness to learn can matter as much as industry history, though some businesses require specific credentials or licenses.
