Acquisition Buyout Calculator

This Excel tool helps you engineer a bank-friendly capital stack for an acquisition. You enter a few deal assumptions (price, working capital, fees, cash flow, and proposed funding mix), and the sheet calculates: the total acquisition size, how much bank/SBA debt the business can support at the target Debt Service Coverage (DSC), your total debt service (monthly/annual), expected ROI on your cash, and the buyer’s take-home “Total Cash Flow to Buyer after Debt Service.” Edit only the orange cells; everything else updates automatically.
