THE BENEFITS OF USING A
STRUCTURED INSTALLMENT SALE

 

Business owners who are planning to sell their business or real estate holding might be facing the prospect of a substantial capital gain. It’s important to evaluate the tax and financial options available for the proceeds from such transactions. One solution that is tax efficient and provides guaranteed income to help create a secure financial future is a Structured Installment Sale.

WHAT IS A STRUCTURED INSTALLMENT SALE?

The Structured Installment Sale is an annuity that allows for the deferral of potentially large capital gains tax and the receipt of guaranteed installment payments over time. This installment sales approach allows the seller to choose what amount to receive now and how much to defer and receive later in the form of a periodic payment. The payment
stream can be set to fit more immediate needs or help plan for the longer term goals, like retirement.

WHAT PROPERTIES ARE ELIGIBLE?

  • Real Estate: personal property (i.e. a home) or commercial property (i.e. an office building)

  • Businesses (i.e. a dental or veterinary practice)

    • Sellers should consult with their tax advisors to determine if a prospective sale qualifies for a structured installment sale product

ADVANTAGES TO A STRUCTURED INSTALLMENT SALE

  • Deferral of capital gains taxation

  • Conversion of asset into a guaranteed income stream, immune to market volatility and performance

  • Payments guaranteed by a financially sound and trusted company
