Hey! I'm a second time searcher. My first deal went well and ended with an over 4x return. I'm looking to do my second deal as a self-funded searcher. I've heard that some searchers today are able to get deal terms based on ROIC (return on invested capital) and not IRR and are able to ultimately own the business. I'd love to learn more. who has done such a deal? What are the standard terms?
