How do I sell my business?
Buying, selling or restructuring a business is a critical point in any business’ lifecycle. Transactions are often high pressure, time sensitive and the tax implications will often be a significant consideration with material implications for the parties.
Selling a business is a demanding process with high financial and emotional stakes. Almost all commercial transactions have a significant tax implication and tax is often an important component in optimising shareholder value and returns on an exit. The tax environment applicable to selling a business can also be complex and seeking advice early in the process can help maximise a business’ value, minimise shareholder tax costs and limit the possibility of challenge, whether during an impending due diligence process or from HMRC.
