Business Owners: As you enter the peak retail season, we know you are being bombarded by messages to take advantages of holiday sales. Did you know that there are advantages of buying businesses at year-end as well? In some cases, sellers have tax incentives that motivate them to complete a transaction before year-end. In other cases, the incentive itself of starting a new year with a clean slate, by finishing this year's business affairs, remains a powerful drive.
