100% Sale Transactions – These transactions typically involve a complete exit by a business owner from their company.  

In most cases, a business owner will be cashed out in full from the sale of their business to a strategic acquirer, a private equity group, the portfolio company of a private equity group or a family office.  

Oftentimes 100% sale transactions, especially to a strategic buyer, yield the highest valuation to a business seller.  

Key management may be required to remain with a business at least through a transition period.
