Accountancy and tax services: Business disposals

At some point in the life of a business, it is likely that the owner will wish to sell, perhaps because they want to move on to a new challenge or because the time is right for retirement.

If you have spent years building a successful business, taking time to plan your disposal is essential – or you could find that your hard work fails to bring the rewards you had hoped for.

Spending some time in planning your exit strategy is a wise investment to help you achieve a successful outcome. By encouraging business owners to plan ahead for their exit date, if they decide that a disposal is their preferred option – and even if that disposal is some way off – we can work to maximise the market value and time the eventual sale to mitigate tax liabilities and take advantage of tax planning opportunities.

We can also advise you on the best method of sale, including a management buy-out or buy-in, for example, help in sourcing a buyer and provide expert advice on issues including valuations and sales negotiations.

After completion, we can continue to advise you, whether you are moving on to another venture or want expert advice on ways to ensure a comfortable retirement and protect your assets for future generations, through tools including estate planning, trusts and wills.
