Curious about seller financing and if anyone has some general rules of thumb / experience on when to use this. if you have, what are some of the key issues to iron out?

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 redacted to set up a time.

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
