    What the Deal Price Doesn't Tell You | Roland Frasier

    The headline price can hide very different payment terms. Roland Frasier joins Josh Marsden to discuss how cash, equity and contingent payments fit together, and why the details matter when a deal moves from a conversation to a written agreement. The conversation covers breaking an offer into its individual components, checking what must happen for each payment to be made, and tracing those terms through spreadsheets, letters of intent and definitive agreements. We also discuss changing due-diligence workflows and building relationships by contributing something useful before asking for help.
