Should I Consider Seller Financing for my Business?

 
Henry Abbot,
Davenport, IA
 
Dear Henry,
 

Many economists are now saying that the U.S. recession is coming to a close and an economic recovery is on the horizon. Some signs, such as improved credit markets support this claim. Too many business buyers, however, are still having a hard time getting the financing they need from traditional lending sources such as banks.
 

When a M&A deal's negotiations are breaking down because a prospective buyer is unable to secure adequate financing, the parties might consider seller financing. Not only can it jumpstart deal negotiations, but it may help the seller get a fair price. Seller financing further reassures buyers that sellers have faith in the company's future and aren't selling simply to flee a sinking ship.
