Acquiring a business can take many forms, including partial acquisitions, which are now eligible for SBA financing. A partial business acquisition usually involves purchasing a majority stake in an existing business rather than the entire company. It allows buyers to leverage existing infrastructure, licensure, clientele, and market and requires only a 5% equity injection – half the SBA requirement for a full buyout. This is proving to be a great solution for sellers who want to transfer ownership to their current non-owner employees.
