This episode provides guidance on financing a CPA practice acquisition using an SBA 7a loan. Beau emphasizes the critical nature of addressing financing when considering buying a CPA firm. Many CPAs have faced difficulties selling their accounting firms due to buyers' inability to qualify for financing.
An SBA 7A loan is a government-backed loan program to assist small businesses, including CPA firms, obtain financing. It can provide up to $5 million, and sometimes more, to finance the acquisition. Unlike conventional financing, which can be challenging for CPA practices due to lacking tangible collateral, SBA financing approval is primarily based on historical cash flow, the buyer's experience and qualifications, and credit history.
SBA loans have a lower down payment requirement, with a minimum equity injection of 10%, significantly lower than what traditional lenders require. The interest rates on SBA loans are typically variable and adjusted quarterly based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin. The margin varies depending on the strength of the deal and the sponsor.
Choosing the right SBA lender is crucial in the financing process. Some lenders participate in the SBA's Preferred Lender Program (PLP), enabling them to make their own credit decisions and provide a faster approval process. Sellers or buyers of CPA firms should work with professionals who have extensive experience in obtaining this type of financing. Beau highlights their close collaboration with preferred SBA lenders, including banks, non-bank institutions, and credit unions specializing in CPA practices, and their ability to help buyers and sellers navigate the financing process smoothly.
