Commercial Development Investment Structure

[James Kavanagh]

I run a youth soccer business and we are in the process of purchasing a commercial property which we would like to convert into a soccer facility. Currently we are a little short on the equity for the deal and we likely need to raise and extra $50k-$60k to cover the equity for the $1.5 deal. If we move forwards we will set up a separate LLC which will be the real estate side of our business and continue our current operations as usual. I am trying to figure out the best way to structure a deal like this and I would like to keep our regular business and the real estate side of our business separate in the deal. To qualify for the SBA loan we are hoping to obtain the equity must be a regular investment in the business and not an equity loan.

Any advice on how to bring in potential investors for a deal like this would be much appreciated.
