Asset Sale vs. Stock Sale: Choosing the Right Structure

When you sell your business, you aren't just choosing a price; you're choosing a structure.

In an Asset Sale, the buyer cherry-picks your equipment and goodwill, leaving the legal entity with you. In a Stock Sale, the buyer purchases your entire legal corporation, including its history and contracts.

The right choice depends on your tax goals and your seller profile. At Sunbelt, we coordinate with your CPA and attorney to ensure you walk away with the highest possible net proceeds.
