Buying A Business

Buying the perfect business starts with choosing the right type of business for you.

If you've found a business you like look to Research the business, including its market and industry, its suppliers, and competitors. If you want to proceed, formally register interest in buying the business with the person appointed to manage the sale. Appoint an adviser to talk to the owner's representative.

New Zealand has no capital gains tax, so you won't be taxed on profits you make selling a business.
