I am a partner (27%) in a privately held company. We have been made an offer for purchase through an asset sale. The number is very high but the actual take home after all the taxes is quite a bit smaller.
We would do better from a stock sale but we're unsure if the buyer can tolerate this. Are there any tricks when negotiating a stock vs. asset sale?
Any tax rules that can make an asset sale more reasonable?
Sorry, if this isn't the right board for this. We have a team of accountants, tax specialists and lawyers I'm just curious if anyone here has any general advice. I know this is a very broad inquiry and I can post specifics if requested.
