A business acquisition nearly fell apart because the buyer didn’t want to overextend cash reserves. Instead of forcing the structure, the deal was reshaped with seller financing to reduce upfront pressure. Why the structure worked: - Seller financing lowered the buyer’s cash injection - The seller showed confidence in future performance - Cash flow became more manageable after closing - Risk was shared instead of transferred completely - Creative structuring created a win-win outcome ➡️ Explore smarter deal structures at Funding Case Studies: Real SBA Deals Broken Down Webinar and watch on our podcast episodes on https://www.youtube.com/@investorfinancingpodcast
