Keeping More Money When Selling Your Business

The old saying is, "It's not what you make, it's what you keep" and that is certainly true in business sales.

The advantages of helping your business buyer finance the business purchase are many, but one of the big ones is that you can actually help yourself at the same time by structuring the deal so you keep more of the total sales price in your pocket instead of giving it to the government.

There are also other important strategies that we can help you figure out, along with guidance from your accountant, to help you make the most from your sale of the business.

One of the main ones is determining the best allocation of the business value between the assets, goodwill, a non compete agreement, and any other allocations that might be made.

There are also other strategies that vary by situation but may involve sale-leasebacks, exchanges, earnouts and other mslightly more complicated but more tax advantageous arrangements that might benefit the deal.

The goal is not just to get the highest price, but to realize the highest total value, which may include getting less upfront but making more and keeping more over the total timespan of the deal terms.
