If the transaction qualifies for SBA financing, a seller note is almost always required. My experience is that such notes are typically in the 10% to 20% range

Lots to say about seller notes. In our own search deal, we had a seller note for 50% of enterprise value (this is unusual). Happy to discuss by phone if you’d like. Please shoot me an email at --@----.com to set up a time.
