Asset sale or stock sale? The seller favors one; the buyer
favors the other. Why? The distinction between asset sales and
stock sales seems simple, but the differences are important,
because each type of sale has its advantages, although one side may
benefit financially more than the other depending on the type of
deal. The key is knowing whether an asset or stock sale is right
for your particular situation. Andrew Gantman, CPA and owner of
Gantman & Associates in Los Angeles, joins us for an important
discussion of these two types of sales, including understanding the
kinds of income your assets generate — regular income or capital
gains — and the potential tax implications in an M&A
transaction.
