Year-over-year trends show a slight downtick in cash at close in most sectors with corresponding increases in seller financing and/or earnouts.
“We expected to see an increase in earnouts due to COVID-19. With potential new shutdowns ahead and ongoing economic uncertainty, earnouts represent a way for buyers to reduce risk,” said Lisa Riley, Principal, Delta Business Advisors. “Frankly, I think we expected a bigger jump in seller financing, particularly since earnouts are not an option for deals that use SBA funding.”
