The Business Broker’s Partner in Financing

Overview

Financing acquisitions is notoriously complex. Lenders can fail to come through with money at the closing table. Buyers can fail to raise the expected equity stake. Lenders can quibble over the valuation and risk, slowing down the transaction. Equity Ridge helps buyers find the right money from lenders or equity partners who understand the value of the opportunity.

Franchise Financing

Unlock the potential of your enterprise by securing franchise financing. Join a proven business model with tailored loan packages, flexible terms, and an empowering support system. Whether you’re starting a new location or expanding an existing one, franchise financing provides the capital needed to thrive and succeed.

Mezzanine and Preferred Equity

Bridge the gap between debt and equity with mezzanine financing and preferred equity solutions. Designed for growth, these funding options offer flexible terms and creative structuring to support strategic acquisitions, expansions, or other major initiatives needing capital beyond conventional lending.

SBA Backed Funds

Benefit from SBA-backed funds for lower cost and longer terms for small business acquisitions. Offering low-interest rates and extended repayment terms, these government-guaranteed loans provide the stability and support small businesses need to flourish, weather challenges, and reach new heights.

Partner Buy-Out

Seamlessly transition ownership through partner buy-out financing. These tailored financial solutions provide the necessary capital to acquire equity from departing partners or restructure ownership. Partner buy-out options align with business goals, ensuring continuity, stability, and future success.
