Hard Truth: Sometimes, business partners grow apart. People's interests and needs change over time. And often, these conversations become complicated and contentious.
Are you in a situation like this? One option to consider is an SBA 7a loan to buy your partner out.
As one example, let’s say you own 60% of your business, and you have a partner who would like to leave who owns 40%. To figure out what the company is worth, you must order an appraisal from an SBA-approved appraiser. If this business is worth $1M, the bank would likely lend you $400K to buy out your partner's share. The loan terms would be ten years, giving you time to pay it down. There would be no down payment.
