Disposals

The disposal of a business is often considered due to succession planning issues, or to allow the business to expand beyond the capabilities or desire of the existing owners. It can often arise as a result of an unsolicited offer.

The MGCF team has a wealth of experience in advising SMEs on the most appropriate option for their particular circumstances.

Our key role in the disposal process is to maintain the momentum of the transaction to ensure completion on the most advantageous terms for the vendor and within the vendor's timeframe. There are also important taxation and investment issues which impact not only on Capital Gains Tax, but on future potential Inheritance Tax liabilities.

The vendors will undoubtedly have a strong emotional attachment to their business. At MGCF we understand this, and are well aware of the turmoil and upset that can be caused by the sale of a family business. We competently guide clients through this process while maintaining clarity of thought and a focus on their best interests to successfully complete the sale.
