Business Acquisition and Disposal

The purchase of a business comes with many risks. Being able to identify these risks provides some comfort that the buyer is making an informed decision, whilst avoiding potential traps.

A financial due diligence process provides the buyer an opportunity to review in detail the financial records upon which a proposed transaction is based and also provides an opportunity to structure the deal in the most advantageous way from a tax perspective.

BVO has been involved with a number of business purchases and sales advising clients on both sides.

On the sell side, BVO can provide an appraisal of the market value of the business prior to entering discussions to ensure the seller's expectations are met. BVO also looks beyond the transaction in order to ensure that any value created by the sale is able to be distributed to the owners of the business in the most tax effective way.
