Exiting your Tech Business

When it comes to the time when you are planning to exit your technology business or planning for succession, it is a pivotal moment that demands careful financial, tax, and strategic consideration. As specialists in the tech sector, we provide end-to-end support to ensure your transition is smooth, tax-efficient and maximises value for all stakeholders.

Exiting your Tech Business

Supporting Tech Business Owners with Succession and Exit Planning

  • Succession and Exit Strategy Development
    • We work closely with you to develop a tailored succession or exit plan, whether you are passing the business to a family member, selling to a third party, or considering a management buyout. Our approach ensures your business objectives, personal goals, and the interests of all stakeholders all align for a seamless transition
  • Business Valuation and Financial Analysis
    • An accurate business valuation is crucial for any exit or succession plan. We provide robust, market-driven valuations and detailed financial analysis to help you understand your company’s worth and identify key value drivers
  • Tax Planning and Mitigation
    • Our tax experts help you structure your exit in the most tax-efficient way, advising on reliefs such as Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs’ Relief) to reduce your capital gains tax liability, and planning for inheritance tax or other relevant exposures
  • Corporate Finance Advisory
    • Whether you seek funding to facilitate a buyout, explore private equity, or prepare for a sale, our corporate finance team can support you with deal structuring, negotiations, and managing due diligence. We help you secure the right outcome, from sourcing buyers to managing the transaction process
  • Ongoing Support and Post-Exit Planning
    • Our relationship doesn’t end at completion. We provide post-exit support, including wealth management, reinvestment strategies, and advice on legacy planning to secure your financial future
