Presentation Summary:

Many successful business owners engage in philanthropy, particularly upon the sale of their business. Utilizing charitable strategies before a sale can provide business owners with several benefits and allow them to support a charity. While a charitable strategy can reduce and/or defer capital gains tax, it is critical for a wealth transfer advisor to be aware of which charitable options works best for the type of entity owned and the client’s philanthropic objectives. S-corporations, active trade or business income, hot assets, and debt can be stumbling blocks to a smooth transaction. This session will discuss the pitfalls to avoid and how to successfully navigate your client’s business sale.

Learning Objectives:

• How your clients can incorporate charitable giving into the sale of a business, thereby reducing taxes and allowing the client to support an important cause
• How you can prepare in advance for these transactions
• Avoid pitfalls of transactions
