Frequently Asked Questions
Acquisition financing provides the capital needed to buy another business. It’s structured to support various purchase scenarios, whether you're acquiring an existing business to expand operations or entering a new industry. With options tailored to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), Haro can help secure funding that aligns with your specific acquisition strategy.
Traditional sponsor financing typically involves debt and equity from established private equity sponsors, who work with you throughout the acquisition. Independent sponsor financing, however, allows individuals or smaller teams to secure funding without needing institutional support, giving you more control over the process while still providing necessary capital for the transaction.
SBA loans offer favorable terms for smaller acquisitions, often with lower down payments, longer repayment terms, and reduced fees compared to conventional financing. SBA financing can be a great option for SMB buyers looking to minimize upfront costs and secure funding under more accessible conditions.
Sponsor financing lets you leverage equity from sponsors or investors to maximize purchasing power in an acquisition. This structure reduces your out-of-pocket cash requirement, enabling you to pursue larger acquisitions or focus capital on business growth post-acquisition.
