Choosing to transition your business can be a tough decision – don’t sell yourself short

You’ve put years of time and effort into building your successful business and now you’re ready to start a new chapter. Whether you plan to sell your business, launch an IPO, or shift leadership to the next generation, KPMG Private Enterprise can help you find and execute the right plan of action for you and your business.

How we can help

Succession planning

By making decisions and developing transition timelines, you can avoid conflict and build the support and buy-in your successor will need. KPMG Private Enterprise professionals can help you manage the sensitivities that come with succession and provide confidential advice on the implications of any decisions your family might make. When the time comes, we can also help your successor take on his or her new role.

Going public

Taking your company public can bring new risks, including complex accounting and reporting requirements and the need to manage new stakeholders – like the board and your shareholders. To get the most reward, you need to be well informed and well prepared. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can work with you to decide whether going public is the right choice for your business. If you go forward, we can help you manage the IPO process and begin to operate in the public company environment.

Selling your business

KPMG Private Enterprise advisors understand how important this decision is and can help you get the most out of the process. We can help define your expectations and identify and prioritize potential buyers. Our professionals can also help you make sure that your business is in shape for a sale, evaluate offers, manage due diligence procedures and supervise the transaction. You’ve spent years building your business. Let us help you get the most out of selling it.

Mergers and acquisition tax

Whether you’re contemplating an acquisition, a merger, or restructuring – understanding the relevant tax issues will let you take advantage of tax opportunities while reducing your transaction risks. If you’re considering an M&A outside your home jurisdiction, getting specialized tax advice can help you ensure your deal is commercially viable. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can work with you to understand the tax implications of your potential deals and help you to structure transactions in ways that are tax efficient.
