Optimum: LIVE Episode 20 – Things to Consider Before Selling a Business

Thinking of selling your business? In this episode of Optimum: LIVE, Chris and Michael explore the essential steps every business owner should take before starting the sale process.

They discuss:

Why timing matters when planning a business sale
The importance of financial clarity and tidy accounts
How your business structure can impact tax and legal outcomes
What buyers really want to see during due diligence
When to involve accountants, solicitors, and advisors in the process

Whether you’re planning to sell in a year or five, it's never too early to start thinking ahead.

Who needs to take action (and when)
What documents you’ll need and how to get your unique code
How this change links to economic crime prevention and business transparency
Why it’s better to act now, not later!

Wednesday 3rd April 2024 – 1:00pm

"Tax Efficiency of Electric Cars" - Optimum: LIVE! Ep4

Épisode 4

jeudi 1 février 2024 • Durée 57:11

Optimum: LIVE! – Episode 4 – Understanding Personal Tax Payments and Tax Efficiency of Electric Cars

Thursday 1st February 2024 – 2:00pm

Episode 4 of Optimum LIVE! will be broadcasting live from 2pm on Thursday 1st February after the first episode of 2024 needed to be slightly delayed due to the typically manic January for Accountants… But we made it at last and wish everyone a happy new year (even though it feels late to be saying that still…)

Host, Chris Dawes (Visual PR) will be speaking with our very own Michael Blaken (Accounts Director) and Hannah Matthews (Head of Accounts and Assurance) about two interesting subjects in the world of taxation. The first will be trying to help you understand personal tax payments, including how it works and how to save. For those who have to “pay on account”, we all know it can get confusing at times, so we take a deeper look and help you feel and be a lot more in control of your personal tax payments.

We will also be going into the tax efficiency of electric cars for you and/or your organisation. It is something that we are being pushed more and more towards, so it is only fair that we take a more detailed look at this subject and see who it can be more efficient for.

Wednesday 20th December 2023 – 12:00pm

Episode 3 of Optimum LIVE! will be broadcasting during Wednesday lunchtime to provide us with the opportunity/justification to also raise a lunchtime toast to the Christmas festive period nearly upon us whilst talking about a couple of subjects relevant to this time of year.

Host, Chris Dawes (Visual PR) will be speaking with our very own Michael Blaken (Accounts Director) about the thorny (not just the holy…) topic of the tax rules for providing Christmas gifts and Christmas parties to help us not fall foul (turkey? Surely that is a Christmas cracker?) of the requirements and expectations and avoid the naughty list…

We will also be touching on the subject of getting company and personal finances in as early as possible rather than leaving it to the last minute, and how that would benefit all sides of the tasks required to get them filed for the end of the year. There are even rumours that another Optimum Director, Rob Stokes may join us for this festive “fireside chat”…

Don’t forget to Click “Going” or ”Interested” (Facebook) or “Notify me” (YouTube) to make sure you catch the live broadcast so that you can get involved (off-cam) with your own questions and input.
