Preparing a Business for Sale

Selling your business could be the make or break moment in your journey towards financial success and achieving the lifestyle you have worked so long and so hard for.

The sale price you secure could be the difference between a life of luxury and peace of mind or a life of scrimping and saving and odd jobs to make ends meet.

And the tax you pay on that sale price can have just as big an impact.

Of course, you should be preparing your business for sale from the day you start it. Including a tax minimisation strategy for your eventual exit.

But the final stretch is ultimately where the race is won or lost.

Give yourself as much time as possible, ideally at least 2, even better 3, years prior to going to market.

But even if you are a little behind on that schedule, all is not lost. There are still opportunities to –

Increase your business’ attractiveness to a potential purchaser
Maximise your exit price and importantly …
Plan your tax minimisation strategy in advance, before the opportunity is lost

CapitalQ helped me get off the 9 to 5 treadmill and effectively retire from real work in my late twenties.

I am a property person through and through. I believe there is no better way to build genuine wealth than via property. I have undertaken residential property investing and residential property developments (large and small) and as a result effectively retired from real work in my late 20s. Throughout that time Duncan and the Team at CapitalQ have been my partners (both as advisers and at times literally by taking interests in my projects). I would recommend to anyone thinking about venturing into property investing to ensure CapitalQ are part of the process and watching your back. You need sound personal budgeting, investment analysis, project costing, appropriate structuring, short term and long-term tax planning and ongoing tax advice (and not just covering Income Tax but also GST, Land Tax, Stamp Duty, the list goes on). CapitalQ know all aspects of the property game, and have the hands-on experience as well. Many think property investing is easy, but I can assure you, without the right partner providing the right advice, you will come undone.
