Calder Capital recently collaborated with Pioneer Capital Advisory, an SBA 7(a) Loan Broker, for a joint webinar focused on helping individual buyers stand out in an increasingly competitive business acquisition market.
In this session, Calder’s Sam Scharich, Ben Sundquist, and Aidan Cote, along with the Pioneer Capital Advisory team, walked through what it really takes to be a credible business buyer today. Calder and Pioneer discuss off-market outreach and buyer positioning to SBA 7(a) financing, deal structure, and assembling the right advisory team around you.
Together, Calder and Pioneer also share real case studies, including buyers who have closed deals with both firms’ support. Leaders from Calder and Pioneer discuss what worked, what didn’t, and how they navigated risk, valuation, and timeline expectations.
If you’re actively planning to buy a business or considering a search, this is a practical look at how others are winning deals in the lower middle market.
Whether you’re planning a future exit or simply trying to understand what makes a strong buyer in today’s market, this conversation offers a clear view into how successful deals cross the finish line.
