Owners fixate on the sale price. But the number that matters is your net proceeds — what’s left after taxes, fees, debt, and adjustments.
From price to proceeds
Start with the sale price, then account for taxes (driven by structure), debt to be repaid, working-capital adjustments, transaction fees, and how the payout splits between cash, seller notes, and earn-outs.
Why we model it early
We model your after-tax proceeds before you go to market, so you negotiate toward the outcome that matters — not a headline number you never fully collect.
General information, not tax advice — we model your specific situation with your CPA and our tax team.
