Entrepreneurs

We specialize in working with clients who own businesses.  Our roots in Southern California are deep and we help by creating a plan for the future.  Whether your goal is to improve your retirement plan, raise capital, build a succession plan, or minimize capital gains tax from a sale or acquisition, let us take a look at your overall picture and make sure you are prepared.

Are You Anticipating A Sale Or Liquidity Event?

The sale of your business will be the most important financial decision of your life.  It also happens to be something most people only go through once.  It can be a daunting challenge to navigate through on your own.  Our team is seasoned in this area and have helped many clients transition through a sale.  We've seen how it can go right and more importantly, learned how to avoid the most costly mistakes.

​When selling a capital asset, you'll owe taxes on the appreciation of that asset.  If you are selling a business you've started from scratch, the subsequent capital gains taxes can drastically eat away at the final amount you receive.

Fortunately, with proper tax and estate planning prior to the close of the transaction, there are steps you can take to reduce this amount and in some cases, drastically reduce the amount of taxes owed and save hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.​  Once a transaction has been completed, however, it is usually too late.  So if you are considering selling your business or have received offers on your business, click below to setup a 15 minute introductory call with one of our advisors:
