Did this year's tax season leave you with questions? Celine Dufresne with Murphy Business Brokers of Lakeland is here with the inside scoop on taxes, selling a business, and what that means for you.

❓ What are the tax ramifications of selling a business? ❓

Selling your business could be one of the largest financial transactions of your life—so understanding the tax side is critical.

When a business is sold, the purchase price isn’t just one lump sum—it’s allocated across different assets, and how that’s structured can significantly impact your tax liability.

👉 Depending on the allocation, you may be responsible for:
• Capital gains taxes
• Ordinary income taxes

The goal? Minimize surprises and maximize what you keep.

That’s where expert guidance comes in. We offer consultations and detailed tax structuring reports to help you navigate your sale with clarity and confidence.
