Mortgage Refinancing Article:

Selling Your Business Note

Before I go further, let me ask a question- if you won the lottery tomorrow, wouldyou take the payout in a lump sum or in monthly payments?

Most people would take a lump sum because even though it might be less than thetotal prize, they would have control over a large sum of money now and could letthe time value of money go to work and increase their winnings.So why then wouldyou opt to get paid on your business sale over several years rather than take a lumpsum payout?

The answer is probably because you didn't know that you could get cash for yourbusiness note. Peacock Capital can help you to sell your business note at a discountand cash out now, rather than later.

Advantages to sell your business note include:

* Walk away from a business you didn't want without having a financialanchor still attached to you for the next several years

* Use the balance owed to you to fund a new business, pay off debts orfinance education for yourself or your loved ones- now!

* Avoid the risk that the buyer will default on the loan

* Avoid the risk of the buyer going bankrupt

* No need to wait for monthly payments

If you are going to sell your business, the following criteria should be structuredinto your note so that it will be more attractive to investors for purchase:

* Down payment of 30% or more

* Personal guarantee from the buyer

* Short term financing - the shorter the term the better

* Minimal seasoning of the note is needed - usually two months at least,depending on the type of business.

A note for a business that has substantial tangible assets will be easier to sellcompared to one that does not - example: machine shop versus a coffee stand.

Your equity is the amount your home is worth, on the market, minus the amount you owe to your mortgage broker. For example, if your property is worth $200,000 and the balance you owe your mortgage broker is $100,000, then your home equity - the part of your property that you own free and clear - is $100,000.

Whether you need some extra cash to pay off some credit card debts, or to make some home improvements, home equity lines of credit or second mortgages can be great ways to get started.
