Solution: Exit Strategies & Succession Planning
Exit Strategies for New Zealand Businesses
Getting a Fair Price When You’re Ready to Go
Selling a New Zealand business without proper preparation almost always means leaving value on the table — buyers and their advisors will scrutinise your financials, your customer concentration, and how dependent the business is on you personally.
We help you prepare years ahead of exit to maximise value, whether that’s succession to family or staff, an outright trade sale, or bringing in professional management so you can step back. New Zealand’s tax treatment of a business sale differs meaningfully from other jurisdictions — there’s no general capital gains tax, but the line between capital and revenue account can significantly affect what Inland Revenue considers taxable, and getting the structuring wrong ahead of a sale can cost you materially.
What’s included:
- Business Planning
- Exit Strategy Planning (including IRD capital/revenue account structuring)
- Succession Planning
- Business Valuations
- Marketing Plans for Sale
What you get:
Maximum value, minimum stress, and a clean exit on your terms when you’re ready to go.
