Sample Deep Dive
Earn-outs: The Maths, The Mechanics, The Negotiation
Most SME deals in the £5M–£50M range today contain some form of deferred consideration. An earn-out is one of the most common – tranches of the purchase price paid over time, typically linked to business performance after completion.
Earn-outs exist for good reasons. Buyers use them to hedge risk, preserve cash, and keep key people engaged through the transition. Sellers use them to close the valuation gap – the difference between what the seller knows the business can achieve and what the buyer will underwrite today with a lump sum.
When they're structured well and negotiated properly, earn-outs unlock deals that otherwise wouldn't happen – and can deliver more total value than a straight cash deal.
