The headline price is not what you take home.

The AI splits each one into cash at close, seller note, earn-out and adjustments, so you compare what actually reaches you. Your advisor tells you which one to take.

YOUR ADVISOR · RECOMMENDATION
Take C. B if you want the higher total and can carry a note. A's earn-out is written not to pay.
Read the terms, not the price

Three words decide what an offer is worth. The AI's flags are built on them, and so is your advisor's call.

Earn-out

Part of the price paid later, only if the business hits targets the buyer set. Often written not to pay.

Seller note

You lend the buyer part of the price and are repaid over years. Subordinated means the bank is paid first.

Working-capital peg

The cash and receivables you must leave in the business at close. Every dollar above the peg comes off your cheque.

04 · CLOSE

Your advisor runs it from the first call to closing day.

Negotiation, LOI, diligence, purchase agreement: your advisor runs all of it. The AI keeps the data room, the checklist and the record. You sign.

Your valuation comes first, and buyers are matched before you go to market.

The buyer search is already done when you arrive. What remains is the negotiation.

success fee, often on top of a retainer.
You pay nothing until the business sells, then 5%.
