Having run your business successfully there comes a time when you want to do other things in life and Ashgates Corporate Finance Team can help realise the value in your business.

As this may be a once in a lifetime transaction it is important to get it right and handled with the strictest confidentiality.

As our Corporate Finance Partners are also experienced in taxation matters they are able to provide a very tax efficient structure to the disposal, after all it is what remains after tax that is most important.

A business disposal often includes the following stages:

1. Preparing the business for sale
2. Consideration of tax implications on the disposal
3. Preparing an information memorandum
4. Targeting potential buyers and how these should be approached
5. Negotiating with potential buyers
6. Dealing with the purchaser's due diligence process
7. Liaising with both the vendorss and the purchases solicitors
8. Managing the disposal to a successful completion
