The representability theorem [Demazure-Gabriel, III.2.7.1, p. 318] implies the following.

Theorem

Let $A$ be a local artinian ring, let $G$ be a group over $A$ locally of finite type, and let $H\hookrightarrow G$ be a closed subgroup which is flat over $A$. Then the quotient $G/H$ in the category of fppf sheaves is a scheme, ; and the canonical morphism $G\rightarrow G/H$ is faithfully flat and of finite presentation.

Note that the group $G$ in the above theorem need not be either affine or flat over $A$; also, Demazure-Gabriel write in comprehensible language, unlike Weil.
