With the changing state of the economy it is becoming harder and harder for entrepreneurs<\/a><\/span> to acquire loans for buying or selling a business<\/a><\/span>. However, this can be easily solved through Seller Financing<\/strong>. Essentially, the seller will be paid for the business over time instead of one lump sum. In turn the seller can protect himself by assuming ownership if the buyer misses payment.<\/p>\n

\"Seller<\/p>\n

Additional seller protection can be achieved by securing a loan against the business’s hard assets, a mortgage on the buyer’s home along with personal guarantee signed by the buyer and the buyer’s spouse. Safety when selling a business can only be accomplished through carefully drafted agreements and proper documentation.<\/p>\n
