Flexible structures
What a Partnership Can Look Like
Every founder's goals are different, so we offer flexible structures that honor your legacy while unlocking new potential. Here's how it works:
- One-Time Liquidity
One-Time Liquidity, Without the Exit
Get rewarded for what you've built with a competitive, market-rate payout. Take some chips off the table while optionally staying engaged in the business you love.
- Admin Hand-Off
Stay in the Game, Focus on What You Do Best
Continue driving your business forward while handing off administrative functions (like finance, HR, and IT) to our support team. You stay focused on what you're great at: your team, your owners, your market.
- Roll Equity
Roll Equity, Share in the Upside
Many founders choose to reinvest a portion of their proceeds back into Awayday, becoming “Rolled Equity Partners.” This creates an opportunity for future upside.
- Full Exit
Full Exit, Legacy Preserved
For founders ready to step away entirely, we also offer full acquisition paths. We preserve the business continuity, while you move forward knowing your legacy is in trusted hands.
Founder led, founder owned
A Founder-Led Circle of Trust
Awayday is owned by the people who run it; over 30% of our company is in the hands of founder-partners. We understand the grit it takes to get here. This is a high-trust partnership for leaders who've earned their way in.

“We weren't looking to sell, but we were looking for a smarter way to grow. Awayday brought us into a network of founder-driven businesses and gave us the support to thrive without compromising who we are.”
Chris and Jen Torsleff, Founders of Stay Montana
“Awayday didn't come in to change what we built, they came to make it stronger. We've kept our name, our people, and our identity, but now we've got best-in-class systems and real support behind the scenes. It still feels like us, just elevated.”
Justin Gerlach, Founder of Pristine Properties Vacation Rentals in Florida

Founder questions
Partnership questions founders ask first
Does my brand keep its name after partnering with Awayday?
Yes. Your brand stays your brand. Awayday partners with one leading company per market and keeps the local name, team and reputation intact, then adds national marketing reach, revenue tools and back-office support behind it.
What partnership structures does Awayday offer founders?
Three paths, depending on what you want next: one-time liquidity without leaving the business, rolling equity so you share in the upside of the wider group, or a full exit with your legacy and team preserved.
Do I have to step away from running the company?
No. Many founders stay in the game and focus on what they do best, handing off the parts of the business they never wanted to run while staying close to their market and their people.
How does the partnership process work?
It is clear and confidential from the first conversation. Awayday partners with a small number of companies, so every discussion stays private and moves at the pace the founder sets.
What size company does Awayday partner with?
Excellence matters more than unit count. Awayday looks for the top local brand in a vibrant, growing market with a strong reputation, a good team and homeowners who stay for years.
