The headline price is only part of the story. How a deal is structured — cash at close, seller financing, earn-outs, and asset vs. stock — changes your taxes, your risk, and what ultimately lands in your account.
Asset vs. stock sale
Most small and mid-sized deals are asset sales, which affect taxes and liability differently than a stock sale. We model both where relevant.
Cash, seller financing & earn-outs
Buyers often propose part cash, part seller note, and sometimes an earn-out tied to future performance. Each shifts risk and timing — we structure them to protect you.
Aligning structure with your goals
The right structure depends on what you want: maximum cash now, a clean exit, or a higher total price with some risk. We build the deal around your priorities.
