They should only be able to use their own capital for the loan, not the company they are buying putting up the majority of the capital. That's the problem with leveraged buyouts: you're effectively putting the company up for liquidation when that happens, because the buyer is likely going to gut and shutter the company so they end up with a profit in the end.

Ask Toys R Us about the process.
