Acquiring a C Corp

by a searcher from Harvard University - Harvard Business School

I've tried to unpack posts on C Corp/QSBS/considerations upon exit, but I've come across an interesting company that is registered as a C Corp. Would my holdco purchase the assets of the C Corp, and the new business be run under the new LLC? What are the tax implications of acquiring a C Corp and/or selling one? Would love to connect with someone who can speak quickly to this.

Excellent discussion regarding QSBS. Keep in mind if the target is a stand-alone C corporation, a 338h10 or 336e election is not available.

I Imagine you passed w/ flying colors, terrific breakdown. For sure, diligence on the seller’s stock’s qualifications & seller intention is key and should IMHO happen really early in the process. Good stuff.
