Growth, Restructuring & Exit Planning
Planning a sale, MBO, or succession? We help you maximise the value you keep after tax.
From acquisitions and disposals to management buy-outs and succession planning, we provide comprehensive tax advice at every stage of your business journey. We help structure transactions to minimise Capital Gains Tax, including Business Asset Disposal Relief where applicable.
Service Highlights
What You Need to Know
Business Asset Disposal Relief now applies an 18% CGT rate on qualifying disposals up to a £1 million lifetime limit. The qualifying conditions require at least a 5% shareholding, active employment or directorship, and a two-year holding period, all of which must be in place well before any transaction. We typically begin exit planning 18 to 36 months ahead of a target sale date, reviewing share structure, earn-out arrangements, and whether an MBO, trade sale, or demerger best serves the tax position of all parties. Early engagement is the single most important factor in maximising after-tax proceeds.
