The deal closing is
the start, not the end.

Most acquisitions treat the wire transfer as the finish line. On DayXero, four structures keep the two sides connected after close — a revenue share that pays out on real numbers, a paid transition, a capped earnout, or a licence. All tracked on-platform, so the arrangement holds after the handshake.

Revenue share

Ownership transfers, but the price is partly deferred: a smaller upfront plus a percentage of what the asset earns for a set term. It's how a deal closes when the seller values the asset higher than a cash buyer will pay for something unproven. The share is only as trustworthy as the reporting behind it — so DayXero calculates payouts from reported revenue on-platform, not a spreadsheet nobody audits.

01
Terms set at close
Upfront, share %, revenue basis, term and cap are written into the deal before it closes.
02
Buyer reports revenue
The buyer reports revenue on the agreed cadence; the seller has the right to verify it.
03
Platform calculates
DayXero applies the share to the reported basis — no arithmetic disputes, one source of truth.
04
Cap closes it out
Once the revenue cap is reached, the buyer owns outright with nothing further owed.

02 · Transition
The builder's context doesn't transfer in a zip file

A codebase transfers cleanly; everything around it doesn't — the deploy quirks, the integration partner who needs a phone call, why a decision was made two years ago. That handover usually happens informally, unpaid, and badly. DayXero makes it a term of the deal: committed hours at an agreed rate, logged as they're used and confirmed by the buyer.

01
Agree the terms
Committed hours, rate and scope, negotiated in the deal room alongside price.
02
Write it into the deal
A term before close — not a favour asked afterwards when the seller has moved on.
03
Log the work
Hours logged against the agreement with a note; both parties see the running balance.
04
Buyer confirms
Each entry is buyer-confirmed before it counts — a seller can't sign off their own hours.

03 · Earnout
Earnout

Not every buyer can pay it all at close, and not every seller wants to price in every bit of upside today. An earnout pays part of the price up front and the rest on a capped, time-bounded schedule — no equity changes hands, and the buyer owns and operates the asset from day one. DayXero tracks the payment schedule so a small deal's deferred consideration is documented like a large one's.

01
Guaranteed + ceiling set
A guaranteed amount at close and a capped ceiling are set at terms — never open-ended.
02
Escrow releases the schedule
Once escrow releases, the deferred balance is split into a fixed, dated installment schedule.
03
Structured agreement
The asset purchase agreement documents the schedule and a reversion right if it goes unpaid.
04
Buyer & seller ledger
Both sides see the same schedule — what’s due, what’s been paid, and what’s left.

04 · Licenses
License

The one structure where ownership never changes hands. The seller keeps the IP and grants the right to use it — to one buyer exclusively, or to several who don't compete. DayXero records the grant, manages access, and tracks the term so a licence doesn't quietly lapse or over-run its scope.

01
Scope the grant
Fee, exclusivity, field of use, term and seats are set at terms — no sale price.
02
Grant access
The licensee gets access on the agreed terms; the seller keeps the underlying IP.
03
Track the term
Start, end and renewal are tracked on-platform so nothing lapses silently.
04
Re-license
Because ownership stays put, the same asset can be licensed again to non-competing buyers.
