WHY THIS STRATEGY IS BENEFICIAL

If your company owns land, buildings, or development-ready property — and you’re planning to close the business — we can help you unlock maximum value with a joined-up strategy:

• Land Sale
  Sell your land to serious, privately funded buyers who pay competitively and cover all planning costs.
• Company Closure
  Close your company through a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) with one of our trusted insolvency practitioner partners.
• Tax Savings
  Reduce Capital Gains Tax to 14% using Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) — rising to 18% from April 2026.
• End-to-End Support
  Secure a clean, compliant, and tax-efficient exit with expert support at every stage.

Sell Your Land. No Risk and Maximum Return

We work with privately funded, experienced land buyers seeking sites across Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Lincolnshire.

• Planning Costs Covered
  Buyers cover all planning application costs, including surveys, architects, and legal work.

• Secure Contracts
  Contracts are exchanged after pre-planning is approved.

• Completion on Permission
  Sales complete once full planning permission is granted.

• Value-Based Offers
  Buyers pay based on the development potential of your land — not just its current use.

This is often the first step in a wider exit strategy — allowing company directors to release maximum value through both land sale and company closure.

How It Works – A Simple, JOINED-UP Process

We make it easy for business owners to sell land and close their company in one smooth, tax-efficient process — with no financial risk and expert support throughout.

1. Tell Us About Your Land and Business
   Fill out our quick form or request a call. We’ll get to know your land, your goals, and whether your company is ready for solvent closure.
2. We Assess the Land’s Potential
   A serious, privately funded buyer reviews your land for development potential. We also check that your company is eligible for a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL).
3. Planning Process & MVL Preparation Begin
   The buyer begins pre-planning due diligence at their expense. At the same time, we introduce you to an insolvency practitioner who prepares your company for MVL.
4. Contracts Exchanged & MVL Starts
   Once pre-planning is approved, contracts are exchanged on the land. Your company enters MVL and assets (including land proceeds and retained profits) are prepared for distribution.
5. Planning Granted & Final Completion
   When full planning permission is granted, the land sale completes and payment is made. You receive funds via the MVL process, benefiting from Capital Gains Tax treatment at just 14% (rising to 18% in April 2026).

No upfront costs. No financial risk. Just a structured and tax-efficient way to unlock the full value of your land and company.
