Tips on Buying and Selling a Business
Buying a Business
- When buying a business make sure to thoroughly investigate the companies finances.
- Inspect all of the business’s physical assets.
- Acquire consent to take over the lease.
- Determine the legal status of the business (e.g. LLC, Sole Proprietorship, Corporation ) to enable you to ensure that the assets you are purchasing are those of the business itself
Selling A Business
- When selling a business the price range should never be too high or too low.
- The taxes that you will incur during the course of sale will be influenced by the legal terms of ownership and whether or not the assets or the entity is being sold.
- Account for all taxable items as well as deductions in your computation of the business’s finances.
