Summer of Alternative Financing- Change the Terms of Sale
A planned receivables reduction can also generate cash.
If the business is giving people time to pay, maybe you can change this and raise extra cash to buy the business.
I’ll explain what to look for in a target business to see if this is even possible.
I offer a risky, and more risky way to pull this off.

Summer of Alternative Financing- Leasing Equipment
The equipment in the business can provide part of the down-payment.
If there are a lot of tangible assets in the business, you may be able to use leasing as a way to raise money for part of the down payment.
I explore this in this week’s video.
Also, what if you can’t find a leasing company willing to do the deal?
I offer three other ways to ‘lease yourself’ a small business purchase down payment.

Summer of Alternative Financing- Seller Financing
So, you need money to buy a business, just ask the seller to take payments.
The problem is that many buyers lack empathy in how they approach sellers.
Do you think any random stranger wants to lend you money to buy their business?
Let’s take a more measured approach to this.
