Pete Benenati, founder of Benenati Law, brings over 30 years of experience to the current business transaction market. Pete represents both buyers and sellers and has learned over the years the best ways to make sure the deal works out smoothly for their clients, including a huge focus on tax planning throughout the entire process. Pete and I discussed the current business sales environment, how it’s changed over 30 years, and how current tax laws affect sales. We also talked about the best ways for business owners to negotiate their post-sale compensation, including salary, if they choose to continue to work after the sale. Finally, Pete and I covered the current and future estate laws and the role they play in business selling strategies. 

If you’re looking to gain some insight into the hugely complicated world of business buying and selling, make sure to tune in to this week’s episode of P&L.

“When you're selling a business, you're focused on that number for the sale of the business. But you don't get into the weeds. I get into the weeds. I've been doing this over 30 years. I still learn to this day that things come up that you don't expect.” - Pete Benenati
