Securing acquisition capital in BC requires a strategic approach. Traditional banks are tightening criteria, making alternative financing, BDC loans, and Vendor Take-Back (VTB) mortgages critical components of modern deal structures. Well-prepared buyers with strong business plans command the best terms.
Lenders focus heavily on the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR). The business must generate enough cash flow to cover the new debt payments, owner compensation, and a safety margin. Overvalued businesses fail financing conditions.
