Selling a business isn’t only about finding a buyer or getting a valuation, it’s about making sure the deal is structured properly, the value of what you have created is recognised, and you walk away with the result you expect. It is more than just the crunching numbers.

Here’s how we typically help other business owners:

  • Simplify financial information and the process so you understand and feel in control.

  • Clean up and clarify the numbers so they’re buyer-ready, easy to understand, and build your confidence in the value of the business.

  • Identify the key value drivers including contracts, licences, equipment, staff, goodwill, and anything else that makes your business worth more than just its parts.

  • Work out how much you’ll keep with tailored advice around tax, capital gains treatment, and the best way to structure the deal.

  • How much working cash, stock and receivables need to stay in the business so you understand what buyers will expect to be left in the business and avoid surprises.

  • Guide you through the process helping with decisions, communication, and financial oversight from start to finish.

  • Post sale tax management including legal structuring of after tax cash from sale, tax planning, preparation of your accounts and tax returns and ongoing tax advice
