Our specialist tax services
For any entrepreneur, buying or selling a business can be daunting. From ensuring the initial valuation is sound, to securing an asking price, or offer price, that is reasonable and attractive for both sides.
You also need to make sure the due diligence process runs as smoothly as possible, while the specifics of the deal need to be negotiated and then structured in the most tax efficient way.
Our transaction tax team are experienced in advising businesses of all sizes and at both ends of the deal. They work closely with BKL’s specialist corporate finance team.
Whether we are the incumbent accountant or brought in to provide specialist advice, we ensure that tax considerations are not overlooked and the end result does not attract any unintended tax consequences.
We can assist you with the tax implications of every aspect of an M&A deal, including:
- Dressing the business for sale
- Valuing a business
- Structuring the deal
- Due diligence
- Advice on the purchase agreement, whether an asset, share or business sale
Bringing the right minds together on every deal, to get you where you want to go.
We help founders and business owners sell their businesses, from the early planning and preparation right through to completion, as well as considering what happens after the deal.
Our role is to help you maximise value, avoid common pitfalls and stay in control throughout the process.
Behind this is BKL’s integrated Deals team, bringing together corporate finance, tax, due diligence and operational expertise to support every stage of a transaction.
We work with businesses well before going to market, ensuring they are credible with investors and buyers, prepared for scrutiny and positioned to achieve the best possible outcome.
