You don’t have to sell everything. At CardChamp, many partners choose to sell just part of their portfolio. Here’s how to decide which option fits your strategy.

 

## Full Buyout Pros

- Immediate capital
- Exit the industry entirely
- No ongoing merchant responsibility

 

## Full Buyout Cons

- No future upside
- Potential tax impact

 

## Partial Buyout Pros

- Get liquidity while staying in the business
- Maintain long-term income from retained merchants
- Useful for de-risking or diversifying your income

 

## Partial Buyout Cons

- More complex valuation
- Potential merchant servicing split

 

## Conclusion

We support both full and partial buyouts. Let’s talk about your goals and customize a deal that works. [Start the conversation here.](https://www.cardchamp.com/sell-my-merchant-portfolio)
