In seller financing (also known as vendor financing), the seller extends credit to the buyer to purchase the business. The buyer then repays the seller over time, typically with interest. This arrangement can bring many benefits. It can increase the number of potential buyers, offer more negotiable terms and potentially expedite the buying process.

However a business sale with seller finance is not without complexities which means instructing a commercial solicitor with experience and expertise in this type of sale is essential. You will require strategic advice and great negotiation skills.

JPP Law specialises in advising both buyers and sellers through every stage of the process ensuring that all legal and financial elements are clearly defined and effectively managed.
