What this buyer pool prices for

Individual buyers - owner-operators, SBA-financed independents, smaller management buyouts - price for what they can finance (typically 10-25% down with SBA 7(a) loans up to $5M deal value) and operate hands-on. Pricing is below PE / strategic because the buyer is taking the owner-operator role, not stepping in as institutional capital. Owner-dependency and seasonality matter more here than to a PE buyer.
