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.
