How to Buy a Business with No Money?

[Gsusangrey]

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in buying a business but don’t have much capital to invest upfront. Are there strategies or methods to purchase a business with little or no money down?
I’ve heard about options like seller financing or partnerships, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience or advice on this topic.

Buy a business with no money by leveraging seller financing, investor partnerships, or SBA loans. Negotiate earn-outs, lease-to-own, or profit-sharing deals. Use creative financing like asset-based loans or vendor financing. Focus on undervalued businesses, strong cash flow, and win-win terms to secure ownership without upfront capital.

It is not easy to purchase a business without any cash, but one can do it by using innovative financing methods. Common approaches include:

• Seller Financing -Negotiate with the seller to pay in installments.
• Earn-Outs- Pay using future business profit.
• Partnerships with investors - Find partners that finance the acquisition.
• Leveraged Buyout (LBO) – pledge the assets or revenue of the business.
• Sweat Equity, provide your skills and management, in return ownership.
• Government or Small Business Loans -Apply to loans guaranteed or grants.
