DDX / 05 · A different role
Keep the work you enjoy. Explore a different role.
You may still love estimating, solving technical problems, or working with customers. You’re simply ready to let someone else run the business.
Talk with JonathanHow DDX can help
A sale can include a defined role afterward.
If it fits the business and both sides’ goals, DDX can explore an acquisition that includes a transition assignment or an ongoing role. The aim would be to make your expertise useful in a focused way while new ownership takes responsibility for running the company.
02
Make the role clear
Agree on scope, hours, compensation, reporting relationships, and decision authority before assuming an ongoing arrangement will work.
03
Plan how it evolves
Decide whether the role is time-limited or ongoing, how it will be reviewed, and how either side would handle a later change.
A question you may have.
Would I need to remain an owner to keep working?
An employment or consulting role can be discussed separately from ownership. Any arrangement would depend on mutual fit, business needs, and agreed transaction and role terms.
Any acquisition or ongoing role depends on mutual fit, due diligence, financing, and agreed terms. We can agree on confidentiality before reviewing sensitive business information.
