What Are the Tax Implications of Selling Your Business? (And Why You Need to Know Before You Sell)

From capital gains to depreciation recapture, the tax implications of a business sale are often complex—but understanding the basics can save you thousands (or more) and help you avoid costly surprises.

Why You Should Plan Ahead

Many business owners focus on the sale price, but net proceeds are what really matter. You might sell for $2 million, but if the deal wasn’t structured properly, your after-tax amount could look a lot different than expected.

Working with the right advisors early in the process can help you:

• Minimize tax liability

• Structure the deal more favorably

• Avoid common pitfalls that eat into your earnings
