This allowed the new partner time to obtain proper licensure and preserved significant cash flow for the owners while they oversaw a slow transition over several years. All sales look different, and the deal innovation for this company ensured a positive outcome for all.

The CFO and due diligence team were also extensive and efficient, helping to streamline the process and keep everything on track. We would definitely use Earned Exits again.
