Multi-Asset M&A Closing Workflow
Unlike traditional law firm escrow with weeks of billable red tape, Escrow.com delivers rapid, licensed milestone closing.
1. Asset Purchase Agreement
The parties execute their APA. The agreement terms, milestone checklist, and indemnity holdbacks are mapped into the Escrow transaction.
2. Full Capital Escrow
Buyer deposits full acquisition funds into segregated escrow trust accounts. Funds are verified and locked before seller transfers any IP or credentials.
3. Stage-Gate Asset Handover
Credentials, GitHub repos, AWS cloud infrastructure, customer databases, and domain names are transferred according to stage milestones.
4. Payout & Holdback Reserve
Initial purchase balance releases to seller. Any agreed indemnity holdback (e.g. 10-20%) remains safeguarded for 6-12 months as warranty protection.
Specialized Deal Structures
Indemnity Holdback Accounts
Retain a negotiated percentage of the transaction amount in neutral custody to satisfy post-closing representations, tax liabilities, or warranty breaches without requiring court litigation.
Earnout Milestone Disbursements
Tie future cash distributions directly to post-sale performance metrics: monthly recurring revenue (MRR) retention, customer migration thresholds, or founder transition periods.
