💰 How Much Capital Do You Need to Buy a Business?

Most buyers focus on the down payment. Smart buyers plan for three phases.

Your broker mentions needing $100-150K down for a $1M business with an SBA loan. That's just the down payment - before legal fees, due diligence, and other closing costs. Successful buyers typically forecast all the capital they'll need (with cushion) when buying a business.

Why the gap? Business acquisition has three distinct phases, and most people only plan for part of the first one:

  • Phase 1: Getting to closing (20-25% of purchase price)

  • Phase 2: The first six months of ownership (10-15% of purchase price)

  • Phase 3: Growth investments (10-15% of purchase price)

Each phase serves a specific purpose. Phase 1 gets you the keys. Phase 2 handles the inevitable surprises during transition. Phase 3 is where you actually build value.

The Reality Check: 70-90% of acquisitions fail to meet expectations. Not because of bad businesses, but because owners run out of options when challenges arise.

Three simple questions reveal if you're properly capitalized:

  • Can you operate for six months with no revenue?

  • Can you lose your biggest customer and stay calm?

  • Can you invest $100K in a great opportunity?

The article breaks down exactly how much you need for each phase, plus practical strategies like the working capital negotiation that can free up $50-100K and smart financing moves that cost nothing until you need them.
