How to use seller financing to buy a business in 2019
There are various ways to go about funding the purchase of a business. A strategic option would be to negotiate seller’s financing with the business seller to alleviate the burden of paying full price for the business upfront. In the U.S., about 60-90% of business sales involve seller financing. Before going through with the purchase, you need to thoroughly vet the business. Because owners rarely finance 100% of the purchase price, you might also need to find other sources of funding, such as a bank loan.
