Unlock the full value of your business with expert advice on Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR).

The Government made significant changes to BADR in the Autumn Budget.

The reduced 10 per cent rate will increase to 14 per cent in April 2025 and then increase again to 18 per cent in April 2026 as a result of the Chancellor’s announcement.

These potentially affect your ability to benefit from the tax advantages when selling your business.

So, if you’re considering an exit, now is the time to act.

Our dedicated resources and expert accountancy services can help you maximise your sale value and ensure you’re fully prepared.

What is BADR?

Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly called Entrepreneurs’ Relief) currently offers great tax savings for qualifying business owners when they sell their business.

However, after April 2025, you may find that your tax reliefs are significantly diminished, and you can no longer take away as much of your hard-earned gains as you thought.

Delaying your exit could mean missing out on substantial tax savings. Whereas, acting soon ensures you:

Lock in favourable tax rates.
Meet eligibility criteria under current rules.
Maximise the value of your business sale.

Our accountants specialise in helping business owners navigate these challenges, creating a clear strategy to optimise your financial outcomes.
