Divestments

The decision to sell your business can be very difficult and emotive, particularly where the sale may be the culmination of a lifetime’s work.

 

Having spent years building a business, realising its optimal value on exit is vitally important.  It can, however, be difficult to know where to start. 

 

When selling a business, a number of factors must be considered including, preparation of the business for sale, the business’ value, finding a prospective buyer, negotiating a fair price and assessing the tax consequences of the sale.

 

With so many factors affecting the success of your sale, it is important to get the right advice.  Our corporate advisory team is made up of specialists with expertise in the fields of corporate advisory and tax.
