M&A Outlook 2024
Update November 2024: With just five months until CGT with Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) rises from 10% to 14%, SME owners considering an exit should take note. Selling before April 2025 could lead to signifcant tax savings, especially for companies with multiple shareholders.
Five months is not long to sell a business, but IT services, commmercial cleaning and facilities management businesses with service contracts in place always attract a lot of attention. It could still be possible.
BADR rises again to 18% on 6th April 2026, so with many business sale processes taking 9-12 months, it is worth preparing for your exit now.
Seen the amount of interest we have received in our latest business sale mandates, buyers of businesses remain active.
