Preparing your business
for a tax-efficient sale

If you are looking to sell your business, our Corporate, Company & Commercial team is here to help you achieve your desired outcome in the most expedient and tax-efficient way.

With Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) rates increasing in April 2026, now is the time to get your business sale ready. Our team of experts can talk you through the latest tax reforms and explain what it all means for you. We’ll help you evaluate the pros and cons of share sale transactions versus asset sale transactions and liaise with your accountants or tax advisers to determine the most tax beneficial outcome for your circumstances.

The right team on your side

When you’re preparing to sell your business, you want to know that the professionals you’re instructing are equipped for the task and will act in your best interests. Led by experienced Partner Mark Stigwood, our Corporate, Company & Commercial team has extensive experience acting for sellers on both share and asset sales. We pride ourselves on taking the time to get to know each client’s business and their objectives for its sale. We will keep you informed at every step and ensure that you have the right team in place to support you throughout the sale process.

Ongoing private wealth advice

Our support doesn’t have to finish once you’ve sold your business. As a private wealth law firm, we are ideally placed to offer ongoing advice once the deal is done. From commercial property and business support to wills, trusts, Inheritance Tax planning and family law services, we can help you manage, grow and protect your wealth for the future.
