Selling or buying a business in Texas.

Selling a business in Texas

Texas is big enough that the right buyer for your business may be in another metro, or another state. A confidential sale process lets you reach that wider pool without announcing the sale to employees, customers or competitors: no name until there's an NDA, no financials until a buyer is qualified.

Structure matters here too. Texas has no personal income tax, but it does have a franchise (margin) tax, and buyers can take on liability for unpaid state taxes if a sale isn't handled correctly. Aneil works with your CPA and attorney so the asset-versus-stock decision, the purchase price allocation and the tax clearances are handled before closing, not after.

How a sale runs

Every engagement follows the same six stages: valuation, go-to-market, buyer vetting, letter of intent, due diligence and closing. See what happens at each stage, or read how seller and buyer representation works.
