Equity injection
The borrower's own money contributed to a project, expressed as a percentage of total project cost.
SBA rules require at least 10% of total project cost on a change of ownership. Total project cost includes working capital, closing costs, and the guarantee fee - not just the purchase price.
A seller note counts toward it only if fully standby, and is capped at half the requirement.
