Real examples of how Sequoia has helped advisors access commercial financing for their business-owner clients.

Business Acquisition $680K

Acquisition of Car Wash Operation – Family Venture - in Arizona

Father-son buyers formed an LLC to acquire an $800K Arizona car wash generating ~$250K revenue and ~$100K net income. The Lending Team advised debt over liquidating investments given loan rates below portfolio returns. After 12+ lender responses, the client secured 85%+ financing.

Sequoia placed the $4.5M revolving credit facility with a regional bank lender that understood the multi-entity structure and was comfortable with the seasonal revenue pattern. The line was approved in 22 days and provided the business with the liquidity needed to fulfill $11M in pre-season purchase orders. The advisor retained the owners' personal investment portfolios and deepened the relationship by solving a critical business financing gap.

Partner Buyout / SBA 7(a) $2.0M

Corporate Training Business Partner Buy-Out in Ohio Financed by SBA 7(a)

A longtime junior partner sought financing to buy out his retiring partner’s share of a corporate training business. After rejecting an unattractive local bank SBA 7(a) proposal, three competing term sheets were sourced with improved pricing and structure, leading to a closing with a national lender in five weeks.

Sequoia structured a $6.2M SBA 7(a) acquisition loan combined with $1.5M in seller financing, allowing the client to close with a 15% equity injection and preserve the majority of their investment portfolio. The SBA lender was experienced with manufacturing business valuations and was comfortable with the seller note structure. The transaction closed in 58 days. The advisor retained full AUM and the client has since grown the business to $14M in annual revenue.
