When should I speak to a wealth manager when selling my business?
It can be useful to involve a wealth manager before the sale is completed, alongside your accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers. This gives you time to consider your personal financial position, future income requirements, retirement plans and how the eventual sale proceeds may fit into your wider wealth strategy.
The right approach depends on your circumstances, goals and future plans. You may need to consider how much to retain for shorter-term needs, how much income you require, whether you intend to retire and how the remaining proceeds could be invested to support your longer-term financial objectives.
Whether your business sale proceeds are sufficient to fund retirement depends on factors including the amount you receive, your desired lifestyle, other assets and pensions, future expenditure and investment strategy. Financial planning can help assess whether your wealth could sustainably support the lifestyle and retirement you want.
A wealth manager can help you create a plan for your sale proceeds covering areas such as investment strategy, retirement, tax efficiency, inheritance planning and your family’s longer-term financial goals. They can also help you assess an appropriate level of investment risk rather than making decisions about a significant lump sum in isolation.

Are You Selling Your Business?

When selling your business, it’s crucial to consider your own personal finances to ensure a smooth transition – Remember, every individual’s financial situation is unique, and it’s essential to consult with professionals who can provide personalised advice based on your specific circumstances.

Taking a thoughtful and strategic approach to your personal finances during the sale of your business will help you achieve your financial objectives and set the stage for a successful future.

A good wealth manager will be adept at dealing with business sellers and help you determine you and your family’s short- and long-term goals around wealth planning, retirement, inheritance tax and investment opportunities.

They can also help with your personal exit strategy that aligns with your financial goals and timeline so you can see if your hard-earned sale proceeds can sustain your lifestyle in the future. Business sellers often feel that they don’t have enough money to retire or need to take excessive risk with their money to achieve a required outcome. Wealth managers can utilise sensible planning and tax mitigation alongside risk assessed investments to keep you on track.

If you have already started the sale process, it is likely you have appointed accountants and lawyers and others specialist firms who are usually involved at the beginning but many of our clients haven’t thought about their own personal financial situation.

From personal experience we know the process first hand when selling a business. We have done it and know what’s involved.
