🏦 SBA 7(a) Acquisition Loan Structures and Guidance
A $2M business with 1.28× DSCR gets declined. A $3M business at 1.50× DSCR sails through underwriting. The difference isn't the price—it's how lenders calculate whether you'll survive year one.
This week's article breaks down what SBA lenders actually underwrite: how they calculate debt-service coverage from tax returns (not seller claims), why 80/10/10 capital stack works, and which deal features trigger automatic declines before you reach closing.
