How to Become a Millionaire Brokering M&A Deals with Camilo Andres Parra
Manage episode 364014741 series 2950381
The deal Camilo negotiated was:
-$8.95M at close
-$2.5M in equity in the PE firm that was acquiring him
-$1M holdback to be released after 12 month (standard when dealing with PE, it's usually 10% but I capped it at $1M)
-$500k to be paid out as a salary for 12 months for the owner to stay running the company during the first year doing only the things he loved doing
I charged 10% as a commission on the deal so it ended up being a happy happy story for everyone involved.
