Case Study: Sale of a Business
The Scenario
You made it. You’ve done well to grow your business, but without a team of experts, knowing what to do during and after the sale of your business can feel like boarding an airplane without the pilot. There are many tax implications, questions around what to do with the proceeds, and how best to set yourself up for your next endeavor. Given that this may be the largest transaction of your life, wouldn’t it be less stressful to start this new chapter with a team of CPAs, financial advisors, and other experts to make the most of what you’ve accomplished?
Key Considerations
- Are you structuring the sale of your business in the most tax-efficient way?
- Are you maximizing the opportunities presented by the proceeds from the sale?
- Are you better off receiving the proceeds of the sale all at once or in installments?
- Have you considered charitable giving in coordination with the sale of your business to reduce your tax liability?
