Expert Guidance for Buying and Selling Businesses
Buying or selling a business is one of the most significant financial transactions you will ever undertake, carrying both substantial risk and opportunity. At GBS Accountants, we provide the rigorous financial due diligence and independent valuation services required to ensure you make the right decision at the right price. Whether you are assessing a potential acquisition or preparing your own enterprise for sale, we look past the surface-level figures to uncover the true financial health, sustainable earnings, and potential liabilities of the business.
Our involvement goes beyond just the valuation; we guide you through the complex tax implications and structural details of the transaction. For sellers, we focus on maximizing your sale price through strategic pre-sale preparation and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) concessions. For buyers, we identify risks and help negotiate terms that protect your long-term interests. From the initial appraisal to the final settlement, our expert team acts as your dedicated advocate, ensuring a smooth transition and the best possible financial outcome.
