The Promissory Note For Business Purchase is a crucial document in Nigerian business transactions where the full purchase price isn't paid immediately. This instrument, governed by Nigerian law, particularly the Bills of Exchange Act and Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020, provides a structured payment commitment from the buyer to the seller. It's commonly used in business acquisitions ranging from small enterprises to larger corporate transactions, offering security to sellers while facilitating business purchases for buyers who prefer or require staged payments. The document must comply with Nigerian stamp duty requirements and typically includes specific details about the business being purchased, payment schedules, interest rates, and any security arrangements. It's particularly relevant in the current Nigerian business environment where seller financing is becoming increasingly common in business sales transactions.
