What Are Business Notes?

A business note is a promissory note secured by a business and its assets.

How Are Business Notes Created?

Business notes are created when a business owner sells a business using seller financing. The note is secured by the business and its assets in case the buyer defaults.

Who Can Benefit from the Sale of Business Notes?


About 85 percent of all business sales involve seller financing.
It is more difficult to get a bank loan for the purchase of a business as many businesses do not own enough collateral to secure a bank loan.

Business owners sometimes have no choice but to offer owner financing. The seller will accept a cash down payment for part of the sale and a promissory note for the rest.

The business itself, the property, inventory, equipment, name and reputation serves as collateral for the note.

Often the seller of the business involved wishes to move on to another venture or industry or may need money for expansion.
