Why getting this right matters
Buying or selling a business is often the largest financial transaction of your life. The difference between a well-structured deal and a poorly managed one can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary tax, unresolved liabilities, or lost value at settlement.
The same applies to winding down. A business or trust that is not closed correctly can expose you to claims long after you have moved on. Directors can face personal liability. Distributions can be challenged. Tax concessions that were available can be lost.
