Frequently Asked Questions
What down payment is typical for gas stations and C-stores?
It varies by lender and deal strength, but many buyers plan for a meaningful equity contribution plus working capital. We’ll point you to the right lender profile based on your deal type.
Can SBA loans be used for gas stations?
Sometimes—eligibility depends on structure, financials, and the specific business model. We can help you package the request and choose the right lending channel.
What documents will lenders ask for?
Typically: personal financial statement, tax returns, business financials/P&L, rent or mortgage terms, fuel supply details, and a purchase contract/LOI.
Do lenders care about environmental issues?
Yes. Many require Phase I (and sometimes Phase II) environmental reports. Addressing environmental risk early can prevent financing delays.
How long does financing usually take?
If documents are ready, timelines are often measured in weeks—not days. Deal complexity and third‑party reports (environmental, appraisals) can add time.
Can you connect me with multiple lender options?
Yes. We can introduce you to financing partners based on your target price, geography, and whether it’s real estate included or business-only.
Common questions
What financing is common for gas stations?
SBA (when eligible), conventional bank loans, and private/bridge capital depending on deal structure, brand, and borrower profile.
Can the business cash flow support the debt?
That’s the core question. We look at verified financials, fuel volume trends, inside sales, and rent/debt coverage to assess supportability.
Do lenders require environmental reports?
Often yes. Requirements vary, but Phase I ESA and brand/UST compliance items are common diligence steps.
What down payment is typical?
It varies by lender and structure, but plan for meaningful equity—especially for first-time buyers or higher-risk sites.
Do you work with buyers using 1031 funds?
Yes. We help align timing, diligence, and closing requirements with 1031 deadlines.
