It’s time for some much-needed good news! The economy in San Diego is shining as bright as our beloved sun in southern California and many are expecting the 4th quarter to show people spending money they haven’t been able to spend in the last 18 months. If you have been thinking about selling your San Diego-based business, now just might be the time to get your business listed and sold.
The city of San Diego has seen some recent promising growth in main street businesses - so much so that banks are willing to lend money to those seeking to buy an existing business. In fact, several doors have been opened for those looking to get financing through the Small Business Administration (SBA) and their Lender Match program. Several San Digeo area lenders are standing by ready to work with local business owners and buyers to get them the financing they need.
Tax Reform Pending
Now is an ideal time to sell your business in San Diego because President Biden has proposed a capital gains tax increase. The bill is currently sitting in the House of Representatives and the capital gains tax could be raised to 28.8%. What does this mean for you as a business owner trying to sell your business? It means selling before the tax reform hits will ensure greater profits from the sale.
How to Prep for a Sale
To prepare for a business sale, you will need to take all of the usual vital steps including organizing your finances, performing a business valuation, hiring a business broker to guide you through the process, listing your business, and then entering into negotiations.
Your knowledgeable business advisor can help you get organized, sort through the necessary paperwork, and create an easy-to-follow checklist to prepare your business for optimal exposure once it’s listed.
