Did anyone use an ROBS plan instead of an SBA loan?

I have a 401(k) from fifteen years at one company. Has anyone here used it to fund the purchase, and would you do it again?

How the community works

Your name, or an alias

Members post under their own name and photo. Anyone can tick “Post anonymously” to post under an alias instead, with no name, no photo and no link to a profile or listing.

Experience, not advice

Members share what worked for them and why. For your own situation, the answer still comes from your attorney, accountant or lender.

No selling

No pitches and no “message me”. Brokers and other professionals are welcome to answer, and their badge says who they are.
