Beyond Cash at Closing Published in EDGE Magazine
Morgan Ownbey recently authored “Beyond Cash at Closing” for the May 2025 issue of EDGE Magazine. In this sponsored article, he explores the ways alternative forms of consideration, such as earnouts, rollover equity, and seller financing, can impact a seller’s financial outcome beyond the initial purchase price. Morgan emphasizes the importance of structuring a deal that aligns with the seller’s long-term goals, from negotiating post-sale employment terms to leveraging set-asides, real estate leases, and intellectual property arrangements.
