WHAT IS A SELLER NOTE?
A Common Financing Layer in Small Business Transactions
Small Business Notes or Seller Notes are loans in which the seller of the small business finances a portion of the purchase price of the business to the new buyer in exchange for a down payment and payments made over time with interest. This is commonly used when buyers cannot secure full bank financing in order to complete the sale of the business, due to a lack of small business loan products within the greater banking market. Seller financing is very common in business sales under $100M and in transactions in the sub $20M range, with an emphasis on most loans being first lien assets. Almost all notes are amortizing, with a typical repayment schedule over a 3–10 years bearing a market-comparable interest rate. Sellers are often stuck holding illiquid, non-tradable notes stranding their value.
