Not a roll-up. A network to link your legacy into.
Thinking about your exit? The PE roll-ups hand you a check, load your portfolio with debt, and let your legacy become a call center. LinkLegacy links your legacy into something bigger: stronger support for the communities you care about, and royalties on the book you built - with no end date, for as long as each community stays.
How the profit-share exit works
Bring your boards over
You’ve spent years earning those relationships - if they’re good, your boards will follow your recommendation. Each community chooses NeighborLink on its own vote (that’s our whole model), guided by you.
One assistive year
You stay on for a one-year assistive transition - part-time or full-time depending on your portfolio’s size - introducing boards, transferring knowledge, keeping continuity warm.
Then sit back and collect
A successful full assistive year - keeping 100% of your book and bringing it over - pays a signing bonus of up to 12 months of each contract’s fee (6-month assist = half). Then the royalty begins: 5% of the revenue from your book, paid monthly, with no end date - per community, for as long as it stays, under a written royalty agreement. This isn’t a quick sale; it’s royalties on the book of business you built. New-community bonuses and 1099 Network work stack on top.
What does your exit actually pay?
The industry’s deal is broken: buyers change operations, associations walk, earnouts miss, and sellers never see the full number. LinkLegacy fixes the process by imposing nothing on your communities except AI - you get board buy-in, and as long as those communities stay, the checks keep coming. Model it:
Longer assists transfer more board trust - and history says trust is what keeps communities (and your checks) in place.
Illustrative planning math, not an offer. Final terms set in a written agreement per portfolio.
LinkLegacy vs. the PE roll-up
| What matters to you | PE roll-up sale | LinkLegacy |
|---|---|---|
| Payout | One check, often earnout-gated | Monthly income for as long as the portfolio stays |
| Your boards | Handed to a new owner without a vote | Choose for themselves, on your recommendation |
| Your team | “Synergies” (layoffs) | StaffLink pathways for people you want protected |
| Your reputation | Attached to whatever comes next | Attached to communities getting better service |
| Your time after | Non-compete and a handshake | Optional: keep earning more on business development |
| Best for | Sellers who want out at any cost | Retirees and owners who want income, legacy and a clean conscience |
Perfect for a retiree: one assistive year, then monthly checks from the portfolio you built - and more if you keep opening doors. Terms depend on portfolio size and retention; illustrative until a written agreement.
