Second Exit Loan Services

by Ryan Smith on October 21, 2025

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.

ThinkSBA’s SECOND EXIT Loan Services Services Include:

Our financing expertise covers the necessary mechanisms to facilitate the purchase or sale of real estate related to a prior business transaction:

  • Arranging of loans;
  • Credit and loan services;
  • Financial loan consultation;
  • Financial services, namely, real estate note brokerage;
  • Loan origination services specializing in Small Business Administration loans for commercial real estate, business acquisition, franchise financing and working capital;
  • Real estate agency services for the purchase or sales of buildings;
  • Real estate brokerage; and
  • Real estate brokerage of residential and commercial properties.

Unlock Your Final Asset Value

Whether you are selling the retained real estate or refinancing it to pull out equity, securing the right loan product is paramount. Our SECOND EXIT Loan Services are designed to ensure you receive the most competitive rates and terms, turning your retained real estate into maximum liquid capital.

Contact ThinkSBA today to discuss financing options for your Second Exit.
