Welcome back to The BDO Show! The go-to podcast for BDOs looking to sharpen their skills and stay ahead of the game.
What started out as a “winners and losers” episode focused on the 2023 changes to the 7a loan program, turned into a fiery debate on search fund deals, partial change of ownership transactions and refinance SBA loans with SBA loans.
In this episode, Emily Detor, Alan Peterson, Chris Hackney, Sterling Birdsong, and Ryan Kroge dive into one of the most heated debates in SBA lending—search fund deals. With recent SOP changes shaking up the industry, the gang unpacks the winners, the losers, and the unintended consequences of these updates.
The conversation kicks off with the partial buy-in asset sale change—does it create better continuity for businesses, or does it open the door for inexperienced buyers to game the system? Debt refinancing also takes center stage, with new flexibility allowing borrowers to consolidate debt more easily. But with MCA debt now eligible for refinancing, the group debates whether this will provide much-needed relief or lead to unintended abuse of the program.
💡 Key Takeaways: ➡️ SBA now allows partial buy-ins as asset sales—a win for some, but does it invite risky lending? ➡️ Refinancing just got easier, making SBA loans more accessible for struggling borrowers. ➡️ Search fund buyers—innovative entrepreneurs or opportunists structuring deals just to qualify? ➡️ MCA debt refinancing—a second chance for business owners or a dangerous loophole?
📢 "Making loans that are risky sometimes is okay—but are we setting ourselves up for trouble?"
This episode is one of the spiciest yet, and we want to hear from YOU! Do you think these SBA changes will help or hurt the lending space? Drop your thoughts in the comments or email us at [email protected].
