Unconventional Knowledge About Buying Or Selling A Business That You Can’t Learn From Books

Buying or selling a business is not the same as doing the same with consumer items. It requires a lot of thought and insight, and having to answer many questions about the business. The impact the merger or acquisition transaction has on the end result should be examined very carefully and critically. For instance, both the value of the business and the ROI will get impacted differently based on the whether the manner in which the transaction is recorded: as an investment or as an expense.

This is just one of the many aspects that need careful consideration when buying or selling a business. Although a lot can be learnt from books, conventional and grassroots wisdom is handier when it comes to handling these issues of high magnitude. Depending on who you are in the deal, you should be ready to negotiate, to do which you have to possess very sharp bargaining skills. Not all of these are taught in books.

A webinar from Compliance4All, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will show what skills need to be honed when it comes to buying or selling a business. The expert at this webinar, which is being organized on July 18, is Bart Basi, a highly experienced financial expert and academic.

Dr. Basi will explain the financial. legal and tax implications of buying or selling a business. He will describe what ramifications need to be considered when allocating the resources of the transaction. This is all the more necessary and important to understand, as US tax code requires the parties to agree on what is being sold and what is being purchased, and determines the taxes paid by the seller based on the allocation agreed between the parties. This is just one of the many aspects of a business merger or acquisition transaction, whose knowledge can go a long way in ensuring that the financial, legal and tax elements of buying or selling a business are considered and complied with.

Both the parties need to also be aware of the consequences of the transaction. These could vary very highly based on whether the transaction is structured as an asset, stock, or a redemption transaction.

Dr. Basi will present actual cases to help the participants of this webinar get an understanding of the concepts. He will also describe the various issues facing both the buyer and the seller and explain the specific options available to each in a transaction under different situations.

At this session, Dr. Basi will cover the following areas:

• Asset Transactions
• Stock Transactions
