Special Requirements

Buyers must have direct or highly related industry experience coupled with acceptable personal credit histories.
Loans available to purchase 100% ownership in an existing business.

Due to the uniqueness of each transaction, business acquisitions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Loans typically must be secured with a First Security Interest in all business assets as well as all available collateral (including the buyer's personal residence) until the loan is fully secured. At a minimum, each loan requires collateral to cover 50-75% of the loan request using the bank's discounted collateral values.

Rates are based on a spread over the Prime Lending Rate. Rates vary depending on the specific strengths of the transaction.
