Business Buyers: Your Guide to Acquisition & Financing 🔑

The Smart Path to Business Ownership with David Mayfair of SD Business Advisors

Finding the Right Business & Industry Match

You’ll be matched with a Professional Business Advisor who has extensive knowledge across nearly every industry.

We help you navigate the process to ensure the opportunity meets your criteria, and every business is kept strictly confidential—requiring an NDA before any details are shared.

Financing Your Business Acquisition

Securing the right financing is crucial. David Mayfair of SD Business Advisors has established successful long-term relationships with multiple SBA lenders and can match you with a bank that meets your specific needs.

Financing Option Key Details Your Requirements
SBA Loans (Small Business Administration) The most common and flexible option for acquisition. We help you navigate the complicated process. Excellent Credit, Substantial Industry Experience, and typically, Outside Collateral.
401(k) Rollover Programs (ROBS) Unique, less common options such as tax-free and penalty-free retirement fund rollovers to finance your purchase. To be explored with individual buyer candidates.
Other Options We can explore other options as needed. Note: Sellers are also mindful of financing, as their business must qualify for loan approval.

How We Determine Business Value

We assist you in exploring several different valuation methods to help determine the best purchase price.

  • Valuation Methods: We utilize a wide range of approaches, factoring in profitability, revenue, book value, and asset value.
  • Comps: Access to difficult-to-obtain comps (comparables) of privately sold businesses provides realistic pricing context.
  • Unique Qualities: We consider all unique factors that affect value, including Industry, Location, Longevity, Niche, and Turn-Key operations.

BUSINESS SELLERS REVIEWS

“

Being on the inside during the business transition David managed gave me a real appreciation for his skill. He wasn't just pushing paperwork; he was architecting a complete, thoughtful handover. It was like watching a master craftsman at work – every detail considered, every potential snag anticipated, and the entire process flowed with remarkable ease. It was clear he wasn't just trying to 'close a deal,' he was building a foundation for continued success.

What really struck me was how he handled everything with such poise. Even when things got complex, he remained calm and focused, always finding a way forward. That kind of strategic thinking and professional grace is rare. If you're looking for someone to guide you through a business transition, someone who prioritizes a smooth, positive experience for everyone involved, you won't find anyone better than David. He doesn't just deliver results; he delivers peace of mind.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with David as my business advisor and broker. He's not just a partner; he's been an invaluable asset on countless deals, consistently showing a sharp understanding of the market and an uncanny knack for navigating the trickiest situations when his clients are selling companies.

What truly makes David stand out is his courage to think outside the box. He doesn't just follow the usual playbook; instead, he brings innovative solutions and fresh perspectives that have consistently led to phenomenal results for his clients. He's also a marketing powerhouse, leveraging extensive website exposure, targeted direct mail, and his vast LinkedIn network of the brightest minds in business.

I once had a business that needed to sell fast, and David delivered! He found a buyer in just three days, tirelessly reaching out to all my competitors in the region and securing a highly motivated cash buyer. The entire process was made simple.

If you're searching for a business broker who is not only experienced and strategic but also genuinely committed to achieving exceptional outcomes for his clients, I confidently and enthusiastically recommend David. He's truly in a league of his own.
