We structure a lot of deals this way from a financing perspective. If you need help talking through financing strategies related to it, you can reach me here or at redacted

^redacted‌ I’ve worked on a lot of creative financing deals, and what I’ve found is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Different structures work better depending on the specific situation. Each option has its pros and cons, and the right choice often comes down to how easily control and influence can be transferred in the business. For example, if it’s relatively easy to transfer leadership, the seller might stay involved in a leadership role. But if that transfer seems tricky, a consulting arrangement might make more sense and work better for everyone. It really comes down to evaluating the specifics of each deal and finding what fits best. I’d be happy to have a consultation call and discuss this further.
