Our process
How it works
Sell your business to us for a smooth, quick transition. We purchase businesses from retiring owners, with the sellers financing the sale instead of a bank. This means you earn interest on top of the sale price and have control over how fast you transition out.
You stay involved whilst we pay the loan back providing you assurance, and you can back out anytime in the first 12-months if we don’t deliver on our promises.
Approval
Check if your business meets our basic acquisition criteria and get an initial valuation range
Due diligence

Terms of sale
Agree the financing and transition terms, including interest rate and loan duration
Transition
Start receiving loan payments and transition out of the business at your own pace
Owner finance
Earn up to 15% interest on the sale price
We pay a 5-10% down payment upon closing, and you finance the rest of the transaction. Over 3-7 years, we repay the loan and you earn interest at an agreed rate.
If the loan can’t be repaid for any reason, ownership transfers back to you, and you keep any payments and investments we’ve made which is one of many ways we minimize your risk.
Our process
