Competitive Market, Liquidating Event, & Maximum After-Tax Value
Competition drives value. Our goal is to create a sales process that produces multiple qualified & motivated buyers for every listing we accept.
While the owner’s goal during a business exit is often to maximize the amount of cash he or she receives at closing, it’s often not possible or not financially viable to receive all of the consideration at closing, creating the need to manage other consideration as part of the business sale.
While the liquidating event is certainly important, proper tax planning during the negotiation and construction of any Letters of Intent and Purchase Agreements is necessary to ensure that our clients maximize the amount they “take home” from any sale.
