Expansion Acquisition Equity Injections

Business Expansion Loans

Business expansion loans involve an existing business starting or acquiring another in the same 6-digit NAICS code, with identical ownership and in the same geographic area, treated as co-borrowers. These are considered expansions, not new businesses, with different rules.

Expansion Equity Injection Rules

No Equity Injection Required: If the following conditions are met:

  1. The target business is in the same industry (same 6-digit NAICS code).

  2. The target business is in the same geographic area (e.g., same metro region or county).

  3. The exact same ownership structure applies to the purchased business.

Example: Your retail business buys another retail location in the same city with identical ownership—no injection needed.

If Conditions Aren’t Met: A 10% equity injection applies, like for a service business acquiring a location in a different region or industry.apply.
