Waiting for the SBA to reopen may lead to missed opportunities. Sellers should be flexible and ready to negotiate terms for certainty. Alternative financing options include seller financing and CVRs. Buyers need to prepare a clean deal package to be competitive post-shutdown. The urgency to act now is critical to avoid chaos when the SBA reopens. Understanding geographical concentrations of SBA loan blockages can inform strategy. A proactive approach is essential for both buyers and sellers in this market. The negotiation strategy should align incentives between buyers and sellers.
