What's inside

  • SBA 7(a), Express, and lines of credit for HVAC
  • Purchasing the company you run: the Owner Buyout rules
  • What an HVAC company is worth to a lender
  • Trucks, service agreements, and collateral
  • Down payment rules and seller notes on full standby

Three owners, three deals

Tyler is purchasing a fourteen-truck company where most of the price is customers and service agreements, which earn no collateral credit.

Rosa runs the service department and is purchasing the whole company from the retiring owner.

Sam is starting his own company with a term loan for the trucks and a line of credit for slow months.

Every rule is checked against SBA SOP 50 10 8.1 (effective October 1, 2026), 13 CFR Part 120, and current SBA notices.
