FAQ

Tech M&A Questions

Most tech acquisitions take 60-120 days from signed LOI to closing. However, timeline varies based on deal complexity, due diligence findings, and regulatory requirements. I work to keep transactions on track while ensuring thorough protection of your interests.

In an asset sale, the buyer purchases specific assets (IP, contracts, equipment). In a stock sale, they buy ownership of the entire company including all liabilities. Each has different tax implications and liability considerations. I help structure the deal to optimize your outcome.

Key preparation includes: organizing corporate records, ensuring IP assignments are complete, reviewing customer contracts for assignment clauses, cleaning up the cap table, and addressing any compliance issues. Starting this process early can significantly increase deal value and reduce closing timeline.

Yes, earnout provisions are common in tech M&A and require careful negotiation. I ensure earnout metrics are clearly defined, measurement periods are reasonable, and you have adequate information rights to verify calculations. Poorly drafted earnouts are a leading cause of post-closing disputes.
