What to know
What to know about buying in Quad Cities
Agriculture and the manufacturing, equipment and services that support it make up the core of the market, with insurance and financial services in Des Moines, healthcare, and home services. Contractors register with Iowa Workforce Development, and electricians, plumbers and HVAC installers are licensed by state boards. Iowa has a corporate income tax and a sales tax that reaches a list of services. Many deals involve farmland or equipment held outside the operating company, so the asset split needs care. SBA 7(a) lending runs through community banks across the state, with the SBA district office in Des Moines. Des Moines, the Quad Cities and Cedar Rapids are the active metros. Within 60 miles of Quad Cities, Rejigg lists 2 businesses.

Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.
No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.

The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.
Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.
Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.
Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
