M&A Outlook 2025
Update December 2024:
The countdown continues to the first BADR cut in April 2025 so the window for selling your business before then is now quite short. CGT 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.
Tax of course should never be the main driver for major business decisions. Good businesses will attract good offers so it is also worth focusing on how to demonstrate the value of your business to prospective acquirers.
Seen the amount of interest we have received in our latest business sale mandates, buyers of businesses remain active.
