Direct Note Underwriter

Sell a business note without a broker in the middle.

We underwrite and fund every offer with our own capital. One counterparty from first call to wire. No chain of intermediaries, no second markup on your number.

One underwriter. One closing. One number in writing. The business note market does not need to be a black box, and the seller does not need a broker to translate it.
How We Buy

A business note seller deserves a real counterparty, not a marketplace.

Brokers built the secondary market for business notes because there was never a single buyer big enough to underwrite the whole spectrum of paper. That is no longer true. We deploy our own balance sheet on performing seller financed notes nationwide. The seller talks to the person making the decision.

You sold a business and carried paper.

Maybe the buyer needed five years of installments to make the price work. Maybe an SBA loan covered part of it and your second sat behind. Either way, the asset on your personal balance sheet today is a promissory note. That note is sellable.

We buy that note directly from you.

No listing on a network. No phone shopping by a broker. The discount rate we publish is the rate that buys the paper. If the discount math does not work for the seller, we say so on the first call, not three weeks into a phantom diligence cycle.

Closing happens in our shop.

Our team prepares the assignment, coordinates the title insurer when collateral is real estate, and wires funds the day after the seller signs. Most closings land inside three weeks.

The Process

Four steps from first call to funded.

Most sellers complete every step from a single desk. There is no in person meeting required to sell a business note when the underlying paperwork is in order.

  1. 01

    Submit the note for underwriting.

    Upload the promissory note, the security agreement or deed of trust, the underlying purchase contract, and the last twelve months of payment history. The form below collects everything.

  2. 02

    Receive a written offer.

    An underwriter prices the note against three variables: payment history, maker credit, and collateral position. The number comes back in writing within two to four business days, with a short memo on what drove the rate.

  3. 03

    Sign the assignment.

    If the seller accepts, our team prepares the assignment of note documents and the closing statement. Signing happens electronically.

  4. 04

    Receive wired funds.

    After signing, due diligence wraps in days and funds wire the same day diligence closes. The maker of the note then receives a notice of assignment that points future payments to our servicer.

Pricing Methodology

The discount rate is built from three inputs, not five.

The cleaner the note, the smaller the discount, and the closer the offer to face value. Every business note we buy is underwritten on the same three axes. Strong marks on all three put the note in the tightest pricing tier.

01

Payment history

Twelve clean payments on time, no modifications, no missed grace periods. Fresher notes still trade, the rate is just wider.

02

Maker credit

The buyer who signed the note matters more than the business itself. Strong personal credit on the maker tightens the rate considerably.

03

Collateral position

Notes secured by real estate or hard business assets price better than unsecured paper. Lien position matters when stacked liens exist on the same property.

Questions Underwriters Hear

The seven we field most often.

How is the offer calculated?
An underwriter discounts the remaining cash flows of the note at a rate built from the three pricing inputs above. Performing notes with twelve clean payments and strong maker credit typically clear in the 75 to 90 percent of unpaid balance range. Newer or weaker paper prices wider.
How long does the closing actually take?
Two to four business days to a written offer. From signed acceptance to wired funds, most files close inside three weeks. Real estate collateral requires title work, which sets the longer end of the range.
Do you buy partial notes?
Yes. A partial purchase buys a defined number of future payments while leaving the remainder of the note in the seller's hands. Sellers use this structure to bank a lump sum without giving up the ongoing yield entirely.
Will the buyer of the business know I sold the note?
Yes. The maker receives a notice of assignment after closing that points future payments to our servicer. Nothing else about the underlying business changes for them.
What documents are needed to submit?
The promissory note itself, the security agreement or deed of trust, the original purchase contract for the business, twelve months of payment history, and a copy of the maker's driver license. The form above gathers every item.
Are there any fees to the seller?
No. There is no broker commission, no application charge, no diligence fee. The published discount rate is the only number that affects the seller. Title fees on real estate collateral are paid out of our side of the closing.
Do you buy non performing notes?
Yes, on a case by case basis. The pricing is wider and the underwriting takes longer because recovery has to be modeled. We have a desk for distressed paper inside the same shop.

Ready for a written number?

Two to four business days from submission to a firm offer. No call center, no broker daisy chain.
