Greg sent me a great question; Once we have a price for the business, how do we break down that price among the different things being bought?
Great question. We call this the price allocation and it’s necessary to do when you buy or sell a business as an asset sale.
The way that you allocate the purchase price can have direct tax consequences for the selling entity at the time of sale... or for the buyer in the years to come after the purchase.
It’s often one of the facets of the negotiation that the buyer and seller don’t realize they need to get figured out sooner rather than later.
I’ve seen the price allocation cause delayed closings and has almost stopped a deal. Especially if it’s left until the last minute.

What are the rules/regulations regarding independence for ASC 805? Can i-banks that broker a sale also perform the ASC 805 report? Can the sell-side Company's auditor do it? Or does it always have to be a different, outside party to the M&A transaction? Any context (or particular resources to read) there from an independence standpoint is very much appreciated.

i wasn't too sure how to complete the allocation sheet out. P.A. is signed based on agreed upon price, & afterwards i was given an asset allocation sheet by escrow. i've never seen 1 of these and wasn't given a balance sheet or an item sheet of the items being sold in this transaction. broker instructed to fill it out with an accountant or to the best of my ability- well, i don't have a cpa and cant afford to hire 1. I'm simply lost and have a deadline. can u help me better understand how these numbers i write in will affect me as the sole buyer as well how it will affect the sellers in this transaction, & if it will affect me later when i decide to sell? And how to i value the noncompete? typically is that a high percentage of the total in consideration? will this affect me when doing taxes every year? will goodwill affect me in taxes as well? thanks always

As a buyer, it's in your interest to have a higher amount on things that you can depreciate so you can reduce your tax burden in the future. I wish I could help you more specifically but if the business is big enough, investing in some help with a qualified local CPA can more than pay for itself.
