Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR)?

BADR (formerly Entrepreneurs’ Relief) is a tax relief allowing business owners to pay a reduced rate of Capital Gains Tax (currently 14%, rising to 18% in April 2026) when selling or closing a qualifying business.

Do I need a solicitor as well as your services?

Yes. We handle the financial, structural, and tax aspects of your transaction, but you’ll still need a solicitor for the legal documentation and contracts. We work hand-in-hand with your solicitor to make the process smooth.

What is a roll-up acquisition?

A roll-up acquisition is when a business or investor buys smaller companies in the same industry to consolidate operations, increase market share, or achieve economies of scale. This strategy is particularly popular in fragmented industries.

How long does a typical deal take?

For small and micro-businesses, deals can often complete within 8–16 weeks, depending on the complexity, quality of financial records, and speed of negotiations.

Why shouldn’t I just negotiate a deal myself?

Without professional guidance, sellers often leave value on the table and buyers risk overpaying or missing key risks. Our role is to make sure your deal is tax-efficient, properly structured, and financially sound.

Do you charge a success fee or commission?

No. We operate on a flat-fee structure based on the size of your deal, so you know your costs upfront and keep more of your deal proceeds.

Can you also handle the accounting after the acquisition?

Yes. Because we are accountants as well as deal advisers, we can manage ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, compliance, and tax planning post-completion.
