Your complete guide to buying a business - and selling a business

Get targeted guidance on the unique and varied strategies associated with mergers, acquisitions, and the restructuring of an existing business with PPC’s Guide to Buying or Selling a Business.

Learn how to buy or sell a business

The Guide addresses the many tax considerations for closely held business buyers and sellers, including selecting the best form of business entity, valuing the business, facilitating due diligence and structuring taxable and tax-free merger and acquisition transactions. In addition, the Guide includes checklists and sample provisions as well as tips on advising a client on purchasing a franchise, preparing a business plan, and closing the deal.

Recent court rulings, legislative changes, and IRS releases have significantly impacted the need for guidance in the area of buying or selling a business, including the business succession planning process. The Guide explains everything you need to know in plain language so you can advise clients on the tax and non-tax implications of buying or selling a business for individuals, partnerships, LLCs, and C or S corporations.
