M&A tax advice that protects value and supports a smooth deal
How We Help
Buying or selling a business is a complex, high-stakes event—often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With multiple advisers involved and competing priorities at play, tax can be one of the most material yet underestimated factors in getting the deal right.
At Sedulo Tax Advisory, we work with business owners, investors, and acquirers to provide clear, strategic tax advice across the transaction lifecycle. Whether you’re preparing for an exit or acquiring a target, we help structure the deal to maximise value and minimise risk.
For Sellers
Early planning is key. We assess your readiness for exit by reviewing group structures, identifying potential liabilities, and ensuring access to key reliefs such as:
- Business Asset Disposal Relief
- Substantial Shareholdings Exemption
- Capital gains tax optimisation
We work closely with you and your legal team to ensure the business is operationally, financially, and legally structured in a way that appeals to buyers—without triggering unexpected or dry tax charges.
For Buyers
We conduct detailed, commercially minded tax due diligence to assess:
- The target’s tax history and compliance
- Any unrecorded or contingent liabilities
- Exposure to PAYE, VAT, corporation tax, and employment-related securities
Our reports are practical and focused, giving you the clarity needed to make informed decisions, renegotiate terms if needed, and plan for post-acquisition integration.
