Miami Beach, Florida – January 29, 2026 – Seller Edge Capital, a specialized business note buyer focused on acquiring seller-financed business debt, announced today a strong and confident outlook for 2026 as structural shifts continue to reshape the business acquisition and M&A landscape.The firm also confirmed it has moved its headquarters to Miami Beach, Florida, located at 1111 Lincoln Rd, 5th Floor, Miami Beach, FL 33139.
Entering the new year fully capitalized, Seller Edge Capital is prepared to deploy capital efficiently across a wide range of transactions, with a primary emphasis on performing, senior, first-lien business notes. As market conditions evolve, the firm will also selectively evaluate performing junior debt opportunities as a secondary focus across multiple industry sectors.
Seller Edge Capital’s disciplined acquisition strategy positions the firm as a reliable liquidity partner for business sellers, brokers, and advisors navigating increasingly complex deal structures.
“We’re seeing a fundamental shift in how business acquisitions are being financed,” said Travis Goad, CEO of Seller Edge Capital. “As a business note buyer, our role is to provide certainty and liquidity when traditional lending becomes more restrictive. Sellers don’t want to wait years to realize the value of their deal, and we’re built to solve that problem.”
Capitalized for Scale in a More Disciplined Market
As a dedicated buyer of business notes, Seller Edge Capital remains focused on transactions that demonstrate strong performance, clear seniority, and durable cash flow. The firm’s primary acquisition criteria include:
-
Performing, senior, first-lien business debt
-
Well-documented seller-financed notes
-
Predictable payment history and defined collateral positions
In addition to its core focus, Seller Edge Capital will continue to review performing junior business notes where risk-adjusted returns align with the firm’s underwriting standards.
This flexible yet disciplined approach allows Seller Edge Capital to operate across a broad spectrum of business sale scenarios while maintaining consistent execution.
“Our strategy isn’t about chasing volume,” Goad added. “It’s about buying the right paper, at the right price, with clear alignment between risk and return.”
SBA Changes Drive Increased Reliance on Seller Financing
Seller Edge Capital is seeing a measurable uptick in seller-financed transactions following June 2025 updates to SBA loan guidelines, which have materially altered the business acquisition process.
Key changes impacting buyers and sellers include:
-
Tightened ownership requirements, limiting SBA eligibility to 100% U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents
-
Restrictions on certain deal structures, including merchant cash advances and layered financing
-
Reintroduced franchise lending rules, increasing scrutiny on branded business acquisitions
-
Expanded due diligence requirements, lengthening timelines and increasing documentation burdens
-
Adjusted liquidity tests, easing some buyer constraints while increasing personal guarantee requirements for sellers
While these changes have made SBA lending more consistent, they have also increased friction in deal execution—prompting many transactions to rely more heavily on seller financing.
As a result, sellers are increasingly seeking out experienced business note buyers to monetize seller-financed notes shortly after closing, rather than holding long-term repayment risk.
“Seller financing has become less of a workaround and more of a necessity,” said Goad. “That creates real demand for a secondary market, and that’s exactly where we operate.”
A Trusted Business Note Buyer for Intermediaries
Seller Edge Capital continues to expand strategic referral partnerships across the M&A and advisory ecosystem, working closely with professionals who structure, advise on, or facilitate business sales.
These partnerships include:
-
Business brokers
-
M&A advisors and investment bankers
-
CPAs and transaction-focused professionals
-
Advisory firms supporting lower- and middle-market deals
By collaborating early in the transaction lifecycle, Seller Edge Capital helps intermediaries offer sellers a clear liquidity path for seller-financed notes—reducing deal friction and increasing close rates.
For brokers and advisors, having a proven business note buyer in place often makes the difference between a delayed closing and a completed transaction.
“We view intermediaries as long-term partners,” Goad said. “When they bring us a quality seller-financed note, they know we’ll move quickly, communicate clearly, and close as expected.”
Positioned for 2026 and Beyond
Looking ahead, Seller Edge Capital expects seller financing to remain a central feature of business acquisitions as lending standards continue to evolve. With capital ready to deploy and a clear focus on performing business debt, the firm is well positioned to support sellers and advisors throughout 2026 and beyond.
Seller Edge Capital’s role as a consistent, experienced business note buyer provides stability in a market where certainty has become increasingly valuable.
