    Estimate for planning only. It assumes a goodwill-heavy sale taxed at long-term capital-gains rates. Most businesses sell as asset sales, where depreciated equipment and inventory are taxed as ordinary income (often higher), so your real tax can be greater. Confirm the price allocation with your CPA.

    Where your sale price goes

    Advisor commission

    Our success fee, progressive from 12% on the first $650,000 down to 3% as your price climbs. Zero upfront.

    Legal & closing

    Attorney review, escrow, and accounting. Usually 1.5-3% of the deal.

    Capital gains tax

    Federal (0/15/20%) plus your state, from 0% to 13.3%. Often the biggest bite.
