How we will help you get Approved for Business Purchase Finance
We will build a case to show the lender that you will make a profit and can repay the loan. Part of this case is the cash flow forecast which shows all future incoming and outgoing money. We will tell them about you and your experience. We will tell them what the money is for (for example buying a concrete truck business).
What is the Value of the Business?
Lenders will use different ways to determine the value of a business. The asset valuation method calculates the net asset value, which is the difference between business assets and business debts. The cap rate method looks at the net operating income (most often of the last 3 years) and divides that by the current market value. When valuing business lenders will also look at:
- The business contracts and when these are due to end
- Unpaid invoices
- Agreements with suppliers
- Property and Equipment on the balance sheet – if not owned what are the lease contracts
What is Goodwill and can it be financed?
Goodwill in accounting is an intangible asset that arises when a buyer acquires an existing business. Goodwill represents assets that are not separately identifiable.
Most lenders do not like financing goodwill. There are ways to get around this if you are a sole trader and own equity for example.
What do you need to apply for a loan?
To get a loan to buy a business you’ll generally need to provide the following information:
- The current balance sheet of the business
- Tax returns and profit and loss statements
- Your personal information, including your qualifications and details of your assets and liabilities
- Financial information of the sale, i.e. how much you plan to invest in the business
- A business plan including profit and loss forecasts and expected cash flow
