Regalis Capital posts 39 deal outcomes and 5 video testimonials for buyers

Regalis Capital published 39 anonymized client deal outcomes and 5 video testimonials on its reviews page to show how SBA 7(a) acquisition deals are structured. The company says the public sample is meant to help buyers judge results before hiring an advisor.

Why it matters: - Regalis Capital is giving prospective buyers a public look at deal structures instead of relying on sales pitches or reviews alone. - The published examples show what SBA 7(a) acquisition support can produce in real transactions, including price, financing, seller notes and cash flow. - Buyers can compare outcomes across different business types and deal sizes before deciding whether to hire an advisor.

What happened: - Regalis Capital published 39 client deal outcomes and 5 client video testimonials on its reviews page at regaliscapital.com/reviews. - The table includes 8 closed deals and 31 deals under contract. - Every client and acquired company is anonymized. - The page is a published sample of client work, not a complete history of the firm's closings.

The details: - Purchase prices in the table range from $515,000 to $6.5 million. - Where seller's discretionary earnings are listed, they range from $269,000 to $1.8 million a year. - The mix includes trades and service businesses that buyers commonly target. - An SEO agency was bought for $1.2 million with a $900,000 SBA 7(a) loan and a $180,000 seller note over 10 years, based on $450,000 in seller's discretionary earnings. - A kitchen and bathroom remodeling firm sold for $2.2 million with a $1.68 million loan and a $300,000 seller note, based on $580,000 of earnings. - A management consulting firm sold for $2.4 million with a $1.88 million loan and a $400,000 seller note on 10-year standby. - A roofing company at $1.25 million carried a $437,000 seller note on standby against $300,000 of earnings. - An HVAC business at $3 million was structured with a loan at 70% of the price and a seller note at 25% on full standby. - An auto repair shop at $2.4 million carried a $600,000 seller note. - An accounting firm at $515,000 carried a $77,000 seller note. - All 39 outcomes include a seller note. - The company says the seller note is the part of the structure most first-time buyers get wrong.

Between the lines: - The published deals line up with buyer demand that favors recession-resistant businesses already performing well. - BizBuySell's second-quarter Insight Report, as reported by Small Business Trends, found 86% of buyers looking for a recession-resistant business and 64% wanting one that is already doing well. - About a third of the published businesses are 20 years old or older. - Several deals include a general manager or operations manager already running day-to-day operations. - Nearly every deal includes working capital negotiated into the purchase. - Regalis Capital is using transparency as a differentiator in a market where many buyers only see opinions. - The firm says the structures and client videos are on one page so buyers can review the numbers before reaching out.

What's next: - Regalis Capital says the reviews page will continue to serve as a public reference point for buyers researching acquisitions. - The company points buyers to free guides at learn.regaliscapital.com. - Regalis Capital says results depend on the buyer, the business, the lender and the market, and no outcome is promised or typical. - The company says it is not a lender, does not set interest rates, and does not approve financing; loan approval rests with the lender and the SBA.

The bottom line: - Regalis Capital is betting that published deal data and video testimonials will persuade SBA 7(a) buyers better than marketing claims.
