The practical answer
Seller output: an investment brief linking the stake, use of proceeds and future operating relationship.
Define what the investor is buying
State the percentage or assets offered, how consideration is calculated and whether funds go to the seller or into the company. These structures serve different objectives. Make the capital destination explicit before discussing how new investment may support growth.
Agree how the relationship should work
Discuss management roles, reporting, distributions, further funding and decisions requiring joint agreement. Set out the owner’s intended commitment after the sale. A common view of the operating plan gives legal advisers a clearer commercial understanding to document.
Prepare financial information for the offered interest
Reconcile company-level results with the economics attributable to the stake. Explain reinvestment needs and any distribution assumptions. A partial sale should not be marketed using a whole-company cash figure without showing how the investor’s actual receipts may be determined.
Your working checklist
