    PREMIERE PG Insurance with Brendan Burdette and Ryan Conner

    Can You Insure an SBA Personal Guarantee When Buying a Business? New guest – Brendan Burdette and Ryan Conner Could insurance protect your personal assets when an SBA-backed business acquisition fails? I’m joined by Brendan Burdette and Ryan Conner, founders of Braddock Road Insurance Corporation, to explain personal guarantee insurance for business buyers. Tune in as we discuss how SBA personal guarantees work, when coverage may respond, how policies are underwritten, and what happens when a lender calls the guarantee after a business failure. We also examine premiums, renewals, collateral, bankruptcy misconceptions, lender communication, moral hazard, and whether this new product could encourage more qualified entrepreneurs to buy businesses. This is a must-see event for acquisition entrepreneurs, searchers, lenders, brokers, and anyone considering an SBA-financed acquisition.

We discuss why healthy and growing businesses can still be considered "unbankable," asset-based lending, working capital, accounts receivable and inventory financing, alternative lenders, and why the cheapest loan isn't necessarily the best financing solution. Marshall also explains how to evaluate the real cost of borrowing, recognize potentially dangerous loan structures, and understand your business from a lender's perspective before you start looking for capital.
