Merger or Acquisition?
I have a new client, a lovely gentleman with two businesses. Business A is an LLC (taxed as sole prop) and is very small. Business B is a sole proprietorship with 25+ employees and significant revenues. On the advice of his attorney, he has just merged the two companies under the LLC and its EIN.Did he just sell his sole proprietorship to the LLC and, if so, how do I put a sale price on it? Just assets less liabilities? Does the fact that the LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship make it NOT a sale? Just having trouble getting my brain around this .... Any suggestions?Deb Howard Greenleaf, EAAdvanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisorCertified QuickBooks POS ProAdvisor
