In our Building a Sellable Business series, you’ve publicized your intent to sell your business. You’ve given your sales presentation and received a buyer’s Letter of Intent to purchase your business. As you determine how you will get paid upon the sale of your company, you’re getting into the financial terms of negotiations now. Friends, you must know that if money is changing hands, taxes follow. Sellers who understand that the purchase price is only the beginning of sales negotiations soon find themselves trying to figure out how to minimize negative tax implications when selling a business.
