A Vendor Finance Agreement is an agreement between a vendor and purchaser, under which a vendor agrees to lend all or part of the purchase price of a business to the purchaser. It is typically used where a purchaser does not have the full funds available to afford the purchase of a business, and so the seller agrees to ‘loan’ part of purchase price to the buyer for a set period, at an agreed interest rate.

The vendor finance agreement should clearly outline the specifics of the arrangement. The following terms are commonly included in such agreements:

• The parties to the agreement;
• The exact amount being borrowed
• The interest rate of the agreement;
• How often the repayments must be made;
• The length of the arrangement
• The form of the loans
