Strategic Deal Structuring

Carlo outlines a unique deal structure where he acquires a business and its real estate for $16 million, utilizing a seller note and a sale leaseback strategy. With $10.75 million financed through the leaseback, he only needed to come up with $3.25 million in cash, which was fully funded by an asset-based loan backed by substantial excess inventory. This innovative approach allowed him to own the business entirely without needing equity.
