Buying a business often means more than signing a purchase agreement — it can involve a promissory note. In this episode, we break down what a promissory note is, how it works in the context of a Canadian business purchase, and why it matters for both buyers and sellers. You’ll learn how payment terms, interest, and legal obligations are structured, what risks to watch for, and how these notes help facilitate deals when full cash payment isn’t practical. If you’re thinking about acquiring a business or want to understand financing arrangements more clearly, this episode gives you practical insights to navigate these agreements with confidence.
