In simplest terms, a seller note is when the seller agrees to take on a series of debt payments from the buyer.
When a seller note is used, the buyer will present the seller with a written note which defines the interest rate to be paid, amount owed, and other terms for repayment. Essentially, the seller is self-financing all or part of the transaction.
The term of the seller note is usually similar to that of a bank. For a service business which sells for $500,000, for example, the transaction might be structured as $150,000 down from the buyer and $350,000 in seller financing. The seller note might run for five to seven years and carry an interest rate of 8% to 10%.
There are three main options for selling a promissory note: to an individual, to a family member, or to a note-buying company. A note-buying company will offer you a partial or full purchase of the remaining balance on loan. The entire process of selling a promissory note can take 15 to 35 days.
If the seller desires a cash payout but seller financing is the only possible form of funding for the deal, then the seller may choose to sell their promissory note. The note may be exchanged for cash, but the seller must be willing to accept a smaller amount of money in exchange for a cash payout.
