Primary tabs. An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances–such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time. Installment contracts can provide that installments are to be performed by either one or both parties.

Common Examples of Installment Contracts Vehicle sales. Sale of land plots. Technology or computer services, which need regular updating. Agricultural goods or produce sales, which are subject to seasonal cycles. Retail installment contracts, where wholesalers sell “in season” or “in-style” clothes to a seller.

7 Disadvantages Of Structured Installment Sale If the buyer cannot make the payments on the loan, the seller may be forced to foreclose on the property or business and take legal action to recover the outstanding balance. This can be a costly and time-consuming process that can result in the seller losing money.

Example of Installment Sale Method The company strikes a deal with the customer in which the customer is required to make installment payments of $2,500 each month for the furniture until the full amount is paid ($10,000).

The Basics This provides the seller security: if the buyer fails to make payments in ance with the terms of the installment agreement, the seller may be able to recover possession of the property quicker and at less expense than if foreclosing on a mortgage.
