Monday, August 19, 2019

Lenders are often asked to finance the purchase of an existing business by a new owner.  Participating in this type of financing can be highly risky in some cases. The level of risk depends on a number of factors, including the purchase price for the business, the value of the assets being purchased, and the future potential of the business to generate cashflow.

Topics Covered:

• Goodwill
• Seller Financing
