For business owners who have strategically retained their real estate after selling their operating company, the “Second Exit” offers a unique opportunity to monetize that property. This final step requires precise and targeted financing. At ThinkSBA, our specialized loan services are structured to unlock the full capital potential of this valuable asset.
Description of a “Second Exit”™
ThinkSBA believes that each business has several opportunities to maximize its value. The first opportunity is in the development and scaling of the business, often including the acquisition of supporting real estate, which typically culminates in the sale of the operating company.
Often, the acquired real estate provides a valuable asset that is either sold with the business or retained as an income-producing asset. Another significant opportunity for the business owner is the strategic sale of the associated real estate.
ThinkSBA provides SECOND EXIT business consulting services to assist those business owners in capitalizing on these specific real estate opportunities.
