About the Program
The panel will discuss and review income tax issues that must be evaluated in the various forms of transactions for selling an active business, including asset sales, entity sales, part rollover to purchaser equity, mergers, and donations of ownership units to charity prior to a liquidity event. The panel will also cover estate planning concerns that arise when blending the disposition of a business into a comprehensive estate plan, and discuss interesting methods for preserving, rather than selling, a successful business, with future profits benefitting nonprofit causes and the client’s mission.
