New SBA rules are shaking up the market, and if you're buying or selling a business, you need to know what just changed.

In this episode, Steve Burton welcomes back M&A expert Jeff Snell to unpack the latest SBA updates, including how new SOP changes can double buying power, reduce down payments, and expand access to $10M loan guarantees for manufacturers. Jeff shares why sellers need to prepare for standby seller notes and why buyers must now arrive with pre-qualification letters, real experience, and a tight team. With more private equity and individual buyers than ever, the competition is fierce and the opportunity is enormous.

What to expect:

• How SBA loan caps and SOP changes impact deal size

• Why buyer demand is at an all-time high

• The 6–12 month timeline sellers must plan for

• How to make your offer stand out in a crowded market

• And more!
