The seller is convinced that there is significant growth potential for the business and he favors a recapitalization (recap) scenario given a unique inflexion point between the industry and the state of tech adoption within the industry. Given this vector, the seller is willing to stay onboard, indefinitely, after closing, as an employee to help unlock this potential value of the company in concert with the buyer in a recap acquisition model where the seller would offer to sell a controlling interest in the company consisting of 50-60% of the company's stock, in return for a $4M-5M valuation which would be accompanied by an earn out structure, to be negotiated, that would be paid out to seller based on certain performance metrics to be achieved such as a doubling of the company's revenues and cash flow within two years after closing.
