The question is why would the vendor want to finance your purchase, what are they getting from you to make the sale attractive?
Why would a vendor want to invest in you? You need to think long and hard before you approach a vendor, if friends and family will not lend you money why would a stranger? What can you offer them?
If you are a promising investment, a vendor with the right financial circumstances may be inclined to invest in you. However, to secure investment, you need to carefully consider the following:
All loans require a return: Lenders don’t provide money simply to have it repaid without interest. What can you offer them in return?
Loans must be secured: Do you have assets, such as a house, to use as collateral? Alternatively, do you have someone willing to act as guarantors?
Deposit and repayment plan: How much of a deposit are you prepared to pay? What will your repayment schedule look like?
It’s important to remember that a business isn’t typically considered security for a loan—it’s an asset already owned by the vendor. If you’re not motivated or equipped to manage the business effectively, you risk diminishing its value through poor performance.
To secure investment, you must demonstrate that you’re driven to succeed and willing to work hard to achieve results. Risk is essential—it creates the incentive to strive for success.
You can already see that the business is a success, how do you prove you will you be?
