Succession: 4 Primary Deal Financing Methods.

There are four primary sources of financing and most deals will utilize a combination of these.  

  1. Seller financing where the current owner takes their money over time. This may come in the form of:
  1. Outside capital from the buyer with the most likely scenario for a significant amount of outside capital coming in from a strategic buyer.
  1. Bank financing of an ESOP.
  1. Bank financing on a term loan for buying the business. This will typically require some combination of outside capital and seller financing, along with proven financial performance, a proven management team, and all 5C’s met.
