Tax-Optimized and Deferred Transactions

Selling your business is a major financial milestone, and the structure of your deal can significantly impact your tax obligations. At Atlantic Alternatives, we help you maximize the financial outcome of your sale by offering tax-efficient strategies tailored to your unique situation.

Our Solution

  • Deferred Payment Structures: Spread the sale proceeds over time to potentially reduce your immediate tax burden and align payments with your long-term financial goals
  • Seller Notes: Retain a financial interest in your business post-sale, creating ongoing income while potentially deferring capital gains tax
  • Stock-for-Stock Transactions: Explore options to exchange equity in your business for equity in the acquiring entity, deferring taxation until a future liquidity event
  • Installment Sales: Strategically structured deals that allow you to receive payments over time, optimizing tax liability and ensuring steady cash flow
  • Tax Credit Analysis: Identify opportunities to leverage any applicable credits or deductions related to your industry or transaction
  • Collaboration with Advisors: We work closely with your financial, legal, and tax advisors to develop a comprehensive plan that aligns with your goals and minimizes tax exposure

Selling your business doesn’t have to mean giving a large portion of your proceeds to taxes. With careful planning and the right partner, you can achieve a more favorable financial outcome.
