The seller offers a loan to the buyer to cover part or even all of the sale price and the buyer then pays the seller back in regular instalments. Approximately 90% of small business sales in Australia involve some form of seller financing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seller financing can be a good strategy for owners seeking to sell their business as it may open the door to more potential buyers. By self-funding part of the price, the seller takes the weight off the buyer\u2019s need to obtain a large commercial mortgage from a bank or credit union, which can be helpful if the buyer\u2019s credit is weak, they lack the cash to make a big down payment, or their business is relatively new. Seller financing also allows the seller to control the deal, set terms and conditions that are more favourable to them and may help them to obtain a premium on the asking price. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a22a89 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a22a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does seller financing work?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d34846b answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d34846b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seller financing functions like a standard <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/au\/commercial-mortgage\/\">commercial mortgage<\/a>, except the funding is provided by the seller, not a financial institution.

Interest rates, repayment dates and other elements of the loan are also custom and arranged on a deal-by-deal basis. In most cases, the buyer will cover the balance of the purchase price (what remains after deducting their down payment and the seller\u2019s financing) with a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from a bank, credit union or online lender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Seller financing in practice<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get a seller financing deal the buyer will usually need good credit and a sizeable down payment, although the seller is free to be as relaxed about these details as they choose.

Potential business buyers who lack the cash to fill this gap will need to find a business loan to close the deal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business loans to complete a financing deal are typically custom deals, shaped to fit the purchase &#8211; which means buyers should shop around for different offers before settling on a lender. You can do this by approaching banks, credit unions and online lenders one by one, or you can use the services of a loan marketplace that will introduce you to a choice of loan deals from different lenders. Some marketplace platforms can also give advice and help you with the application process.

However, if your credit is weak and your business is new, many sellers may not want to provide seller financing to you. This means you may have to provide a very large down payment or get a business loan or commercial mortgage from a bank or alternative lender to buy the business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial lenders \u2013 especially those who operate online &#8211; may be more flexible in their borrowing criteria than a traditional bank or credit union. Depending on the type of business you are trying to buy and what the sale includes, they may provide you with a loan even if your credit is bad or you\u2019ve been turned down elsewhere.
