Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
This is the total cash a seller receives from a sale after all expenses, fees, and outstanding debts have been paid. It's the bottom-line amount the seller walks away with.
When calculating your total project costs, you'll see how much of the loan goes to the seller. The seller's net proceeds are what's left after their outstanding business debts are paid off at closing. Your lender will verify these payouts to ensure loan funds are used appropriately.
