2. Upcoming Webinar: How to Finance Your First Acquisition: SBA 7(a) vs. 504 Explained

Most buyers have $100K–$500K sitting on the sidelines and no idea how to turn it into a $1M–$5M acquisition. The answer is SBA financing. But most people get it wrong: wrong loan type, wrong lender, wrong timing.

In this live session, we're sitting down with Sterling Birdsong, Founder & CEO of Lendstra, to break down exactly how SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 loans work in the context of buying a business—not in theory, but deal by deal.

We'll cover:

• The real difference between SBA 7(a) and SBA 504—and which one applies to your deal

• How lenders actually evaluate a buyer (it's not just your credit score)

• What sellers need to know about buyer financing timelines

• Common mistakes that kill SBA deals at the finish line

• Live Q&A with Sterling — bring your deal scenarios

Whether you're actively searching, under LOI, or just building your capital strategy, this is the session that puts your financing picture in focus.

3. Continental Wins:

We love skeptics.

Marcus had already been burned by a broker. When he found Acquire Weekly, he didn't believe we could actually fix his deal flow problem. “What makes you guys so different?” is the common question.

Three months later, he’s holding the keys to a commercial cleaning company in Atlanta.

The numbers:

• $1.1M Purchase Price

• $245K SDE (4.5X Multiple)

• 10% seller note on a 2-year standby

What changed his mind wasn't just the deal itself. It was the team and dealflow we have been building for years. During diligence, when things got complicated, he had a network of experienced operators and our advisory team answering his questions in real-time.

He didn’t have to guess. He just had to execute.
