A financial professional is the best resource to advise on available financing options. Some of the most common financing options used to buy out a business partner include:
With careful planning and patience, it’s possible to navigate a mutually beneficial situation where all involved parties can come away with their desired outcome. Once an agreement has been reached between the parties involved in a buyout, it is essential to transfer any legal documents and accounts associated with the business.

What happens to a partnership when one partner buys out the other?
When one partner buys out the other, it generally results in a change of ownership. The departing partner essentially relinquishes their ownership stake and involvement in the business.
How do you negotiate a partnership buyout?
Negotiations for a partnership buyout typically take place alongside financial and legal professionals who help to ensure each party’s needs are met. Common terms that are negotiated during a buyout are payment structure, payment timelines, tax obligations, and the method of transfer of ownership.
How do you record the buyout of a partner?
When buying out a partner or co-owner, it is advantageous to record this transaction as a business purchase on your business ledger. To ensure proper tax deductions at the end of the fiscal year, it is essential to meticulously categorize the buyout payment across the appropriate expense categories.
