We built IBB around a simple truth: most business owners only do this once. You deserve a team that has done it hundreds of times — and who treats your transaction like their own.
Nothing is disclosed without a signed NDA. Your employees, customers, and vendors stay in the dark until you decide otherwise.
Every buyer in our network is screened for financial capability and genuine intent — no tire-kickers wasting your time or accessing your books.
Unlike brokers who list businesses as-is, IBB helps you fix what buyers will flag — before they flag it. Better prepared = higher price.
We know the local market, the buyers who are actively looking in San Diego, and the industries that are moving. That's not something you can Google.
We learn your goals, timeline, and situation — free, no obligation.
We establish value and identify what to fix before listing.
Team steps in: CPA, bookkeeper, Business Optimization, marketing.
Blind profiles, NDA-gated exposure to qualified buyers.
We manage every step through escrow and transition.
SBA loans are the most powerful tool most business buyers don't fully understand. IBB helps buyers position themselves to qualify — and helps sellers prepare their books to support an SBA-funded transaction.
SBA 7(a) loans allow qualified buyers to acquire businesses with a fraction of the purchase price up front — preserving working capital post-close.
Longer loan terms mean lower monthly payments — protecting cash flow during the critical transition period after acquisition.
We help buyers understand what lenders look for, and help sellers clean up the financials that SBA underwriters require — making deals fundable.
IBB works with SBA-preferred lenders across San Diego who understand small business acquisitions and move faster than traditional bank channels.
The most widely used SBA program for business purchases. Flexible use of funds, available for most industries, and accepted by the broadest network of lenders.
Ideal when the business sale includes significant real estate or equipment. Lower fixed rates and longer terms — often the right structure for owner-occupied commercial property.
Streamlined approval — SBA responds within 36 hours. Best for working capital, smaller acquisitions, or buyers who need to move quickly on a time-sensitive deal.
Whether you're acquiring a business, bridging a capital gap, or growing before a sale — IBB connects you with private lenders who move fast, understand business, and structure loans around your situation.
Capital tied up elsewhere? Bridge the gap while your SBA loan or business sale closes.
Fund a business purchase with private capital — faster and more flexible than traditional lenders.
Earn 8–14% secured by real business assets — including tax-advantaged returns via SDIRA lending.
Loan structures built around cash flow reality, not a one-size-fits-all bank underwriting box.
How a Private Loan Works
Owner or acquirer identifies a gap — acquisition, growth, bridge, or working capital.
We match borrower with lenders and document a secured promissory note with agreed terms.
Capital deployed by a private lender or SDIRA — secured by business assets or real property.
Borrower makes scheduled payments. Lender earns 8–14% annually — tax-advantaged if via SDIRA.
At maturity, lender receives principal back. Borrower has grown — or sold at a higher valuation.
Three things IBB delivers on every engagement — regardless of business size, industry, or timeline.
Nothing leaves this conversation without your permission. Every buyer signs an NDA before seeing any details. Your employees, vendors, and competitors don't know anything until you decide they should.
IBB doesn't just take whatever you bring and list it. We work with you before going to market — cleaning financials, documenting operations, and positioning your business to attract serious buyers at the best defensible price.
James handles your transaction personally from first conversation through closing. No junior associates, no handoffs. One person who knows your deal, your goals, and your business inside and out.
