General UK education
Exit Money provides general information and organising tools for people before and after a business sale. The material is not a personal recommendation, financial advice, tax advice or legal advice. Obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances before acting.
The site focuses on the UK, but rules can differ across jurisdictions and for people with overseas connections. Your ownership, transaction documents, residence history, previous claims and other circumstances can change the outcome.
Using the tools and examples
Examples are illustrative and do not promise an outcome. The proceeds worksheet performs arithmetic on the amounts entered. It does not calculate tax or determine whether a plan is affordable. Check inputs and results with your advisers.
We aim to explain information accurately, but rules and official guidance can change. Check the source and relevant date before relying on a figure. Tell us if you identify an error.
External resources and your rights
Links are provided for further information. A link does not mean an external organisation endorses Exit Money, and we do not control that organisation’s website.
You may use our printable checklists for your own planning conversations. When quoting or referencing a guide, please link to the original page and preserve its context and date. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.
