Simplifying the Seller Note Structure for Small Business Deals
Introducing a seller note helped ease the process of closing small business deals. It allows for reducing the seller note by the amount of any claim, instead of using escrow. With a seller note structure, cash is held back and can earn interest. Deals are typically paid around four times, with 50% equity and 50% debt. As the company grows and pays off debt, they can take on more leverage for each deal. Overall, their metrics are improving, allowing for more aggressive debt financing.
