Jumpstart Finance Launches SellerBridge℠ to Unlock a New Era of Business Acquisition Financing

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New platform combines seller financing, professional servicing, and future liquidity opportunities to help business brokers, buyers, and sellers close more transactions.

LAS VEGAS, NV, June 19, 2026 — Jumpstart Finance today announced the launch of SellerBridge℠, a platform designed to transform how small and lower-middle-market businesses are bought and sold.

For decades, business acquisitions have relied heavily on banks, SBA lenders, and conventional financing sources. Yet thousands of otherwise viable transactions fail every year because buyers cannot access sufficient capital, sellers are unwilling to finance the sale themselves, or traditional lenders simply cannot support the transaction structure.

SellerBridge℠ was created to solve that problem.

By combining professionally structured seller financing with institutional underwriting, servicing, and future liquidity pathways, SellerBridge℠ creates a powerful alternative for buyers, sellers, and business brokers seeking to complete transactions that might otherwise never close.

"We believe the business acquisition market is overdue for innovation," said Grant Ferguson, CEO of Jumpstart Finance. "Seller financing has always been one of the most effective tools available to get deals done. The problem is that sellers are often asked to become lenders without the protections, servicing, reporting, or liquidity options available in institutional credit markets. SellerBridge℠ changes that."

The platform is designed to help bridge the growing gap between buyer demand and available acquisition capital. As conventional lending standards tighten and SBA transactions become increasingly complex, seller financing continues to play an increasingly important role in business transfers across the country.

SellerBridge℠ seeks to professionalize that process.

Transactions originated through SellerBridge℠ are structured, documented, underwritten, and serviced using standardized processes designed to protect all parties and improve long-term performance. The result is a more transparent and institutional approach to seller financing that benefits buyers, sellers, brokers, and capital providers alike.

Unlike traditional seller-financed transactions, SellerBridge℠ notes are created with future liquidity in mind.

Through Jumpstart's growing network of private credit investors, secondary-market participants, note purchasers, and capital partners, qualified SellerBridge℠ notes may become eligible for future liquidity opportunities through SellerCashOut℠, a program designed to help sellers convert some or all of their remaining note balance into cash.

While traditional seller financing often requires sellers to hold a note for years, SellerBridge℠ introduces the possibility of a future liquidity event while preserving the flexibility and transaction-closing benefits that make seller financing so attractive in the first place.

The result is a fundamentally different approach to business acquisition financing:

• More options for buyers

• Greater flexibility for sellers

• More deals closed by brokers

• Institutional-grade underwriting, servicing, and reporting

• Access to a growing network of private capital and secondary-market participants

• A potential pathway to liquidity that traditional seller financing rarely provides

Business brokers are expected to be among the primary beneficiaries of the platform. Seller financing already plays an important role in many lower-middle-market transactions, but brokers often lack a standardized process that can be easily explained to buyers and sellers.

SellerBridge℠ provides a framework designed to help brokers overcome financing obstacles, bridge valuation gaps, and move more transactions toward closing.

"Too many good businesses fail to change hands because buyers and sellers can't bridge the financing gap," Nate Smith, COO of Jumpstart said. "Our goal is to help more deals close while giving sellers greater confidence that the note they create today may become a valuable and potentially marketable asset tomorrow."

Jumpstart believes the future of business acquisition financing will extend beyond traditional bank lending and SBA programs. SellerBridge℠ represents a new model—one that combines the flexibility of seller financing with the discipline, servicing, and capital market connectivity traditionally available only to institutional investors.

"Business owners have trillions of dollars of equity tied up in privately held businesses," Ferguson added. "We believe there is an enormous opportunity to unlock that value by making seller financing more transparent, more institutional, and ultimately more liquid. Our vision is simple: help more businesses change hands, help more entrepreneurs become owners, and help sellers access the value they've spent a lifetime building."

SellerBridge℠ is now available nationwide and is actively working with business brokers, business owners, acquisition entrepreneurs, and capital partners interested in participating in the next generation of business acquisition finance.
