These are notes created when a business owner sells their business using owner financing. It is much more difficult to get a bank loan for the purchase of a small business than it is to get a loan for a home. Businesses have a historically high failure rate, and many do not own enough collateral to satisfy a bank loan.

Sellers usually have no choice but to offer financing. They accept a cash down payment for part of the sale, and a promissory note for the balance.

Sometimes the seller is perfectly content to receive the payments over 3, 5, or more years. More often, they have needs for the cash today or tire of the hassle collecting payments.

A Couple of Reasons Why Clients Choose to Sell Their Notes:

    To have the capital to start their next project
    Fund college tuition
    Eliminate debt
    Enhance their investment portfolio
    Eliminate the hassle and worry of collecting payments

Eligible Businesses include, but are not limited to:

    Restaurants/Bars
    Printers
    Medical Practices
    Liquor Stores
    Convenience Stores
    Florists
    Gas Stations
    Auto Repair Shops
    Dry cleaners/laundries
    Manufacturers
    Hair, Nail and Day Salons
    Various Service Industries

Typical Business Note Buying Criteria:

    "First" position as lien holder
    Substantial down payment (usually 30% minimum)
    "Seasoning" (3- 4 payments made already)
    Buyer's previous experience in business
    Buyer has good credit

While these are typical criteria desired, each transaction will be considered on its own terms and strengths. Every note is reviewed on an individual basis.  See Business Note Underwriting Requirements
