Structuring Earn-Outs & Seller Notes
High-value business exits rarely consist of 100% cash at closing; they often involve seller notes, equity rollovers, or performance earn-outs. Structuring these deal terms strategically protects your payout while giving the buyer confidence in a smooth post-sale transition. 1. What percentage of cash at closing (e.g., 70% or 80%) is your absolute baseline requirement for selling your business? 2. How will you structure performance earn-out milestones to guarantee you receive full value for post-acquisition growth? Action Item: Draft a term sheet outline detailing your ideal mix of Cash at Closing, Seller Note, and Performance Earn-out.
