Seeking a business acquisition loan

[Rachel Payton]

My husband and I have an opportunity to buy an existing business and may need a business acquisition loan.  Looking for reputable lenders here that do business loans, or can point me in the right direction.  We've never bought an existing business before.  We have good credit, and will need advice on how best to value the business to make a fair offer.  Loan will probably be in the $300-500k.  We are very early in the stages and haven't gotten all information from the sellers yet.
