The MDR 3-Point Advantage
The three things that decide whether a company sells for what it is worth.
Financing
Financing that gets the transaction closed
A deal that everyone agrees on and nobody can fund is not a deal. Funding gets worked in parallel with the negotiation, not after it.
Funding the deal
A good deal should not die at the bank
SBA, conventional and seller-financed structures arranged alongside the sale, with lenders who actually close in your industry.

5.0 from 43 Google reviewsThe three structures most Texas transactions use
SBA-backed acquisition loans
The most common route for individual buyers of profitable companies. Lower down payment, longer amortization, and a lender who will want the same diligence a buyer should want anyway.
Conventional bank financing
For strategic buyers and stronger balance sheets. Faster where the relationship already exists, and usually cheaper.
Seller financing and earnouts
A portion of the price paid over time. It can raise the total a seller receives — and it can also be the clause that costs them. How to compare offers
What a lender looks at
Lenders underwrite the business, not the enthusiasm. Three years of tax returns that reconcile to the financial statements, earnings that are stable or growing, customer concentration inside a tolerable range, a buyer with relevant experience, and a transition that keeps the business running through the change of hands.
That list is nearly identical to what a buyer's diligence team looks at, which is why a company prepared for a sale is also a company that gets financed.

No cost, no obligation
Start with a conversation, not a commitment
Three short steps, and only the last one is required. The questions before it are what let an advisor come back with a real answer instead of a call asking for one.
Or call (855) 637-2776 and speak to somebody who has sold companies.
