What it’s about

Three questions before every takeover.

Am I paying too much?

planix calculates whether the profit carries interest and repayment on the purchase price – and compares the plan with the latest accounts.

Price against profit and latest accounts.

Is it enough for loan and salary?

Debt service and living costs each appear in the plan with a traffic light – year by year, over five years.

Debt service and living costs with traffic light.

What does the bank want to see?

The plan with opening balance sheet, purchase price, goodwill and vendor loan – in the chapters the bank reads.

Opening balance, price, forecasts.

How it works in the UK

Five steps. Signing comes last.

Calculate first, then finance, then sign.

FAQ

Questions

Buying the shares, you take over the company as it is – with all contracts, staff and liabilities, including unknown ones. You pay 0.5% stamp duty on a price above £1,000 and protect yourself with warranties and indemnities in the sale agreement. Buying the assets, you choose what you take and leave the liabilities with the seller; the employees move to you on their existing terms under TUPE, and the seller must give you their details at least 28 days before the transfer. Which way suits your case, your solicitor and accountant advise.

planix calculates whether the cash flow carries interest and repayment and still leaves you a salary – each with a traffic light. planix does not value what the company is worth.

Business plan with financial forecasts, the company’s accounts and bank statements of recent years, heads of terms or the draft sale agreement. If collateral is missing, an accredited lender can use the Growth Guarantee Scheme.

The seller defers part of the purchase price (deferred consideration). planix includes interest and repayment – and shows how this affects your debt service.
