NHPA Adds SBA Loans to Its Marketplace Services

Are you looking to buy an independent home improvement store? North American Hardware and Paint Association (NHPA) members can now take advantage of small business loans through the association’s partnership with Live Oak Bank. Whether you’re looking to build, buy or expand your business, Live Oak Bank offers small business loans to independent retailers.

This new offering complements the different services, including valuation, available through the NHPA Retail Marketplace—the industry’s marketplace for buying and selling independent home improvement stores and posting jobs.

Marketplace listings appear in print in Hardware Retailing magazine and online on the NHPA website and NHPA Retail Marketplace webpage. Both public and private Marketplace listing options are available to retailers. Public listings allow retailers to advertise their business for up to one year with information, photos and the retailer contact information listed. Private listings do not share photos or critical information, and NHPA helps facilitate any inquiries.

If you’re ready to sell, but aren’t sure how to assess the value of your business, NHPA has partnered with Gary Pittsford, partner and chief valuation officer of Castle Valuation, a Division of Creative Planning, to help guide you through the valuation process.
