Shaz shares the most common deal structures for buying a business, giving anyone who is thinking of buying a business the opportunity to think about what will be the best structure for them.

You could be looking at all money upfront, deferred payment or joint shares it’s all about what works for you with Shaz also explaining why deferred payment is his preferred strategy for a deal and why.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A deal can be all the money upfront and lots of smaller deals are completed with this structure.
• With deferred payment, you agree to buy and you pay a certain amount upfront with the rest being paid over an agreed amount of time
• This is a good way to buy a business.
• If the business is viable you will be able to get funding from a bank or another funding source.
• The business should be making a profit and the profit over the next few years can help fund the purchase.
• You can structure a deal where the previous owner stays on for an agreed amount of time.
• Capital is paid upfront and the previous owner continues to receive a salary while they remain with the business.
• You can buy into a business rather than buy it completely outright becoming a partner or joint shareholder.
