Exit & retirement strategies

Having developed a successful business one of the certainties of life is that at some stage you will have to exit or retire from that business.

It may be that in a family business there is a clear succession route or it may be that selling your business is the best way to crystallise the benefits of a lifetimes work.

The reasons to sell can be strategic but also can be personal.

We can advise you regarding the valuation of your business and talk through with you the options regarding its hand over and disposal.

Our experience in this area enables us to quantify and identify the tax planning issues and the alternative structures of the deal available.

It may be that your existing management want to buy the business off you and we have excellent experience of management buyout transactions in some of which part of our fees have been funded by the Department of Trade and Industry under consultancy agreements.
