Capital Stack Deal Lab: How Middle-Market Deals Get Financed Now

Middle-market deals often stall not because of valuation or legal terms, but because the capital stack doesn’t come together. SBA, conventional, non-bank, and seller paper each have their place — but knowing which tool fits which deal is a skill most advisors develop slowly and expensively.

This moderated deal lab presents two real-world financing scenarios to a panel of active capital providers — SBA, conventional, non-bank, and deal advisory perspectives. Panelists react to structure, risk, and finance ability in real time. The audience votes on the most workable approach. Walk away with a sharper instinct for how deals actually get financed today.
