Licensed California Business Broker • 100% Confidential • No Upfront Fees

The SBA-Financed segment is one of the most active acquisition ranges for Santa Monica buyers. Exit Clue brokers confidential Santa Monica business sales in this range across service trades, restaurants, healthcare practices, manufacturing, and B2B services. Most deals close with SBA 7(a) financing.

SBA 7(a) is the dominant financing tool for California small-business acquisitions in the $300K–$5M range. The program offers 80–90% loan-to-value coverage with 10-year amortization on goodwill (25 years if real estate is bundled), making it possible for individual operator-buyers to acquire businesses with as little as 10–15% down. Exit Clue packages every listing for clean SBA approval — well-documented financials, defensible cash flow, and clear transferability of customer base, leases, and management.

Santa Monica Market Notes

Santa Monica leases drive a huge portion of underwriting. A long, transferable lease at sub-market rent can add 20–40% to enterprise value. Buyers will scrutinize parking, foot traffic, and rent ratios more than almost anywhere else in LA.
