Income Tax Strategies Leading Up to a Business Transaction

When a business transaction is on the horizon, income tax considerations are never far behind, and for good reason. In many cases, taxes represent the single largest expense that will be incurred in the transaction. Thoughtful planning around the tax structure of a transaction can have a significant impact on the seller’s outcome.

At Blue Value Advisors, we help business owners understand not only what their business is worth and how to grow that value, but also how income tax strategies can play a critical role in preserving it.

Some of the most effective tax strategies begin well before a sale is even on the table, sometimes as early as company formation. Others are implemented in the months, weeks, or even days leading up to closing, often negotiated as part of the transaction itself. While the timing and approach may differ, every strategy shares the same goal: maximizing net proceeds to the seller. Whether a transition is one year away or ten, our team partners with business owners early to identify opportunities, reduce surprises, and position them for the strongest possible outcome.
