Key Takeaways:
- Importance of Early Planning: Engaging with tax advisors and legal professionals well before the planned sale can significantly enhance the value and smoothness of a transition.
- Asset vs. Stock Sale: Asset sales are generally preferred for liability reasons, but specific business conditions may necessitate stock sales.
- Seller Financing: Offering seller financing can spread the capital gain tax burden over time, making it an attractive option for sellers who don’t need immediate cash.
- Determining Enterprise Value: Goodwill and the ability to generate earnings are crucial to establishing a business’s enterprise value.
- Post-Sale Involvement: Structuring deals with earnouts and consulting roles can help ease the transition and ensure continued business success.
