Buyers earn ownership by performing.
The seller keeps 100% of the equity until paid in full. The buyer runs the business against clear monthly targets, and OTBC manages the money in between.
The structure in plain English
Down payment
The buyer brings 10–40% down.
Monthly targets
The buyer must meet an agreed monthly EBITDA target.
Money control
OTBC manages disbursements with dual approvals, no checks or cash, and a full digital audit trail.
Bank accounts
Accounts stay in the seller's control until the seller is paid in full.
Balloon
Due at year 3, with an option to extend if both parties agree.
Limits on the buyer
The buyer runs day-to-day operations but cannot place liens on or bind the company beyond normal operations.
Missed targets
Three missed months in a row means removal from management.
Closing
When the buyer pays in full, 100% ownership transfers to the buyer.
A sale structure built around results, not promises.
Traditional seller financing asks the owner to hand over the business and hope the note gets paid. A performance-based structure keeps the equity with the seller until the buyer has earned it, with the numbers reviewed every month.
- The seller keeps 100% of the equity until paid in full
- Monthly targets agreed in writing up front
- Money flows through controlled accounts
- Clear steps if targets are missed
Deals that work for both sides.
Buyers get a path to ownership without an all-cash close. Sellers keep control until they are paid. OTBC keeps the numbers honest in between.
Stay in control while the buyer performs.
The structure is designed to keep ownership, bank accounts and disbursement approvals with the seller until the seller is paid, and to require performance every month.
Every deal carries risk, and the structure does not remove it. Terms are set in a written agreement, and both parties should have their own attorney and CPA review it.
