Seller Financing for an Online Business Sale

Structure deferred seller payments carefully so price, risk and post-close obligations are clear.

Why buyers use it

Seller financing can reduce upfront cash needs and help bridge valuation gaps.

Why sellers consider it

A seller may improve deal feasibility or total economics but takes repayment risk.

Define terms precisely

Principal, interest, payment schedule, security, covenants and default remedies need clear documentation.

Separate transition support

Operational support should be defined independently from repayment obligations unless deliberately linked.
