A private first conversation
What could your next chapter look like?
Austin Business Brokers Office connects owners with a business valuation partner. These resources help you organize a more useful first conversation. The records below cover separate agency questions that can arise at closing.
Close a Texas Sales Tax Account After Selling
Keep final sales reporting separate from the buyer's setup and any decision to terminate your legal entity.
Report a Business Acquisition to the Texas Workforce Commission
Coordinate payroll cutoff, employer accounts and unemployment tax questions before employees move to a new owner.
Austin Food Permit Changes When a Business Sells
Check the facility jurisdiction and change of ownership inspection before assuming food operations can continue unchanged.
Bring the business into focus
Ask your CPA, payroll professional and attorney to assign the relevant filings. Keeping a separate record for each agency helps prevent an unfinished account from being overlooked.
