1/ Have done plenty of large non-recourse deals with OPM (other peoples money). Those seem fairly straight forward. Spent some time recently figuring out the SBA loans for smaller #SMB deals. A thread on 7a acquisition loan learnings
2/ Max SBA 7(a) loan amount is $5M. There are tons of people that will do these loans. This seems to be bread and butter of a lot of lenders.

SBA has a list of lenders here. @LiveOakBank leads the way

careports.sba.gov/views/7a504Len…
3/ Typical SBA 7(a) loan structure

10% equity down payment, 75-80% 7(a) loan, 10-15% seller note.

You will hear a lot of different debt service coverage ratios for that loan piece. Seems 1.5x is a safe bet

1/n Thread on #restaurant labor
2/n Labor market for restaurants is more difficult than it has ever been. I have heard more franchisees / large operators say that they have spent more time "flipping burgers" or something similar than in the last 20 years
3/n COVID + unemployment + stimulus made this all the worse. Who wants to make $10/hr when you can chill at home for less? It's hard to blame these people that have probably never really had a real vacation in their entire lives

1/n Restaurant M&A thread. Things I always get asked
2/n Chick-fila: No. Not a franchise. You are a highly paid owner. Make $200k+ because Chick-fil-a kills it. When you are done working, nothing to sell. Thanks for your service
3/n $MCD McDonald's. Good luck with that. Too big and mature for you. No conflicting businesses. You also need to be an operator, not a financial buyer
