Business sale and purchase.
An earn-out is an arrangement under which all or part of the purchase price on the sale and purchase of a business is calculated by reference to the future performance of the business being purchased.
Earn-outs are commonly used as a management incentive where owner-managed businesses are sold and the managers continue to work in the business for an agreed period following the sale.
