Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
This is the total amount you pay to acquire the business. It's the core number around which your entire deal structure, including your loan and equity injection, is built.
The purchase price is typically established by the Letter of Intent (LOI) and confirmed during due diligence. It dictates the size of your SBA 7(a) loan request and the required equity injection. Ensure the price reflects a fair market valuation after your thorough review of the business's financials.
