Looming Tax Law Changes Driving M&A Activity
With the Bush tax cuts scheduled to expire at the end of 2010, business owners planning the sale of their business will likely have to pay substantially more in transaction taxes if they don't complete the sale of their company in 2010. Owners interested in retiring who aren't confident that there will be strong improvement in their 2011 business are finally coming to the realization that they should sell now. How do I know this is a "sale" motivating factor? Within the past week or so, my partner and I have been approached by four business owners who have cited lower transaction taxes (i.e., keeping more after-tax transaction dollars in their pockets) as the primary reason for selling now. Conversations with attorneys, accountants and private equity firms confirm my experience is not an isolated incident. Completing the sale of a company can take six or more months.
