OR the person selling you their piece of the business does their own financing, taking $20% down, and the rest payable over time. As collateral, you pledge the ownership that you bought.

It is controlling interest, and the main asset, valued at 1.5m is in house developed software, which provides 100% of the revenue through licensing and management fees. And this is why I am looking for a non-bank lender.
