When it comes to purchasing a business, it is important to verify the true cash flow from the business you are purchasing. We assist in helping you verify that the numbers you are shown from the seller are accurate and can be used in projections that you would need.  

Typically, when you purchase a business, you are either purchasing assets of the business or purchasing the equity interest of the business. We assist with which strategy would be the best fit for you.  

If you decide to go down the route of an asset purchase, we can help you to figure out what assets you are purchasing and what sort of useful life those assets have. It is important for the buyer and seller to agree upon what items are being sold and for how much, before closing. This helps us plan for depreciation when we file your tax returns. 

When selling a business, we help to get you a true valuation for the industry you are in. It is also crucial to understand how you want to structure the sale, whether an asset sale or equity sale, both options have different tax consequences.
