A business note is created when the owner of a business sells that business, offering his own
financing to the buyer. This is similar to a real estate note, except that a business note is secured by
a business rather than by real estate.
It is usually more difficult to get a bank loan for the purchase of a small business than it is to get a
loan for a home or building. This can be attributed to a variety of reasons, but is most often related
to the amount of collateral available to secure the loan.
TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS
The list below provides guidelines that we utilize when deciding whether to purchase a business

the others are especially strong.
