Accounting/Tax Treatment of Search Funding
August 07, 2019

Curious what the consensus is around accounting/tax treatment for search funding. Stated differently, do folks treat externally derived search funding (during the initial search phase) as debt, equity, convertible, compensation, other? Interested in both searcher and investor perspectives (although would think they would need to align!).
