Two buyers can offer the same price for the same business and end up with completely different outcomes. Structure is why. This session covers how the pieces fit together: the debt stack, seller notes and where they sit in the standby order, earnouts and when they help rather than hurt, equity from outside investors and what it costs beyond the dollars, and how the new SOP has changed which structures still work. I'll work through how to move money between the buckets to solve for the constraint that is actually binding, whether that is your cash at close, the lender's coverage requirement, or a seller who wants a number you cannot pay in cash. Free to attend, live only. Sessions are not posted publicly. LIVE—Denver runs October 21 to 23.
