Buying or Selling a Business with Seller Financing

What You Will Learn

Buying or selling a business doesn’t always require banks, investors, or large amounts of upfront capital. Seller financing is one of the most common ways small business transactions are completed, allowing buyers and sellers to structure deals directly with each other. In this course, participants will learn how seller-financed acquisitions work from start to finish. From preparing for a deal and identifying potential opportunities to structuring terms, writing a letter of intent, and conducting due diligence. The session will also cover negotiating agreements, closing the transaction, and managing the critical first 90 days after ownership changes hands. This class is ideal for entrepreneurs interested in acquiring a business, owners considering selling their company, or advisors who want to better understand how bank-free business transactions are structured and completed.
