Three owners, three deals
Monica is buying a center licensed for 140 children, building and all, and the building's age adds a step most buyers never see coming.
Jen has directed the same center for six years and is buying it from the retiring owner.
Aaron is building a new center through SBA 504, and his lender wants to see the cash that carries him to year two.
Every rule is checked against SBA SOP 50 10 8.1 (effective October 1, 2026), 13 CFR Part 120, and current SBA notices.
