While many sellers are looking for a liquidity event now, we know that doesn’t always mean you’re looking to fully walk away. If you’re still excited about the continued growth of your company and brand and want to stay on board to lead that post-acquisition, you can do that. While you’ll get considerable cash up-front at close, you’ll also receive additional consideration as rollover equity into Serf Dome – leading to a considerably higher total multiple at your second exit.

REDEFINING THE EXIT EXPERIENCE
3 PROBLEMS WITH SELLING YOUR BUSINESS
Traditional acquisitions are great if you’re ready to retire. However, we know there are many sellers who’d love to stay on board and continue to grow their business.
At Serf Dome, we give sellers that opportunity. We offer lucrative deal terms in the form of rollover equity, earn-outs, or stability payments. We believe that equity is likely to result in a much larger payout than a traditional deal structure.
01 LIMITED BENEFIT FROM FUTURE UPSIDE
LIMITED BENEFIT FROM FUTURE UPSIDE
With a traditional exit, you typically sell at a lower multiple and miss out on the later upside of the brand growth that happens with a shared model that contributes to, ultimately, higher multiples.
02 FORCED RETIREMENT
FORCED RETIREMENT
When you sell in a traditional exit, you may be left wondering, “what’s next?”. At Serf Dome, as Brand President or as an investor, you get to stay involved and reimagine what it means to have control over your brand’s strategy, with the full support of our community and tools to help you succeed.
03 INABILITY TO FURTHER INFLUENCE BRAND GROWTH
In a traditional acquisition, a seller makes a clear decision to sell their business, which means they fully walk away from all influence, decision-making, and investment. We seek entrepreneurs who are so passionate about their brand that they want to be there to help them evolve and grow to new levels or to invest and grow your equity with us.
