Seller financing — a structured transition that works for both sides
Not every acquisition needs to be a full cash settlement on day one. Seller financing — where the founder receives part of the purchase price over time, often tied to performance — can benefit both buyer and seller.
How seller financing benefits the seller:
- Higher total consideration — earn-outs tied to performance can increase total price beyond what a cash buyer will pay upfront
- Tax efficiency — structured payments over time may have different tax treatment (seek your own tax advice)
- Continued participation — stay involved in a reduced capacity and benefit from growth you helped build
How it works with Vantix Capital:
Vantix Capital is open to structured deals including earn-out components, deferred consideration, and seller loan arrangements where they align with the business's transition plan. We discuss structure openly during the assessment phase — there is no single template.
