We sold a company last year, and the deal was structured for 80% after the asset migration, and then 5% quarterly for 4 quarters to ensure we don't disappear. So it was 5 payments, but effectively the first one was one big transfer into the bank account. The money first went from the buyer to an escrow service before the migration started, and they released it to us when the migration was complete. The escrow service was very picky about which banks they wanted or did not want to work with, and they refused to send money to our Wise account which would have saved a lot of money in transfer fees and forex later. Sending to a traditional bank was fine.
