DEAL READY FINANCIALS℠

Developed in accordance with SBA SOP 50-10 8 guidelines for carve-out and partial business acquisitions.

SBA-Ready Carve-Out Reports for Confident Closings

Deal Ready Financials℠ is a CPA-prepared financial statement tailored for carve-out transactions, where only a portion of a larger business—such as a division, location, or legal entity—is being acquired. This carve-out report isolates the financial performance of the specific entity being sold, clearly separated from the parent company’s operations and structured to meet SBA lending and other transactional due diligence expectations.

Why Are Deal Ready Financials℠ Needed?

In carve-out transactions, traditional financial statements are often consolidated with the parent company, making it difficult for lenders, buyers, and underwriters to determine the true cash flow and risk profile of the business being acquired.

Deal Ready Financials℠ solves this by providing:

Clean, standalone financials for the carved-out entity
CPA verification of income and expenses
Statements formatted specifically for SBA loan underwriting and other due diligence activities

This level of clarity helps streamline approvals, reduce risk, and keep deals moving forward. Find out if you could benefit from a Deal Ready Financials℠ Report now.

You’re financing a partial business sale or divestiture
The business for sale shares infrastructure or financials with a parent company
