Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an asset sale and a stock sale in an exit transaction?

In an asset sale, specific assets and liabilities of the business are sold, while in a stock sale, the buyer purchases the seller's shares of stock in the corporation. Asset sales often provide tax benefits to buyers, while stock sales are typically more advantageous for sellers from a tax perspective.

How do you calculate and interpret the EBITDA multiple in a business valuation?

The EBITDA multiple is calculated by dividing the enterprise value by the company's EBITDA. We interpret this multiple in the context of industry benchmarks, company growth rates, and risk factors. Generally, higher multiples indicate higher perceived value or growth potential.

What is a Quality of Earnings (QoE) report, and why is it important in the exit process?

A Quality of Earnings report is a detailed financial due diligence analysis that validates a company's historical earnings and identifies any adjustments or anomalies. It's crucial in the exit process as it provides potential buyers with an independent verification of the company's financial performance and helps in accurately determining the company's value.

How do you structure an earnout in an exit deal, and what are the key considerations?

An earnout is a contractual provision where a portion of the purchase price is contingent on the business achieving certain performance metrics post-sale. Key considerations include selecting appropriate performance metrics (e.g., EBITDA, revenue), setting realistic targets, defining the earnout period, and establishing clear measurement and dispute resolution mechanisms.

How do you handle intellectual property (IP) transfer in an exit transaction?

IP transfer in an exit involves identifying all IP assets (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets), conducting thorough due diligence on their ownership and validity, and drafting appropriate transfer agreements. We also consider licensing arrangements for any IP not fully transferable and ensure proper registration of transfers with relevant authorities.

What is a representations and warranties insurance policy, and when should it be considered?

Representations and warranties insurance is a policy that covers losses resulting from breaches of the seller's representations in the purchase agreement. It should be considered in transactions where the buyer seeks additional protection beyond the seller's indemnification, or when the seller wants to limit post-closing liability and distribute proceeds more quickly.
