Banks offer loans to buyers for up to 90 percent of the purchase price, using the assets of the business as collateral. Remember I mentioned raising capital takes a fraction of the time? The financing of these deals is typically done in one fell swoop, with you bringing a “down payment” or “equity infusion” and the bank providing the balance. In addition, raising money from a bank also means that you get to own 100 percent of the company yourself.
