Share Sale – The buyer acquires the entire company, including its assets, liabilities, contracts, employees, and legal structure. This method is common for businesses with long term contracts and goodwill tied to the entity itself.
Asset Sale – The buyer purchases specific business assets, such as equipment, inventory, intellectual property, and customer lists. The seller retains the legal entity, and the buyer may need to establish a new business structure.
Which structure is best depends on tax implications, liability concerns, and business continuity goals.
An earnout clause is a structure where part of the sale price is deferred and paid based on the business meeting future financial targets such as revenue, profit, or contract renewals.
This is common when a buyer wants to ensure business stability after the sale, the business value is tied to future performance, or the seller wants to achieve a higher overall sale price.
Earnouts can reduce risk for buyers while allowing sellers to benefit from continued business growth.
Most business sales take between 6 to 12 months, although in some cases it may take longer.
