Life, Search & Taxes by Search Fund Coalition

***Registration required for attendance: https://luma.com/sfctaxes226 *** Tax season is here. And for Searchers, taxes show up in more places than most people expect. During diligence, many focus on reviewing the Seller’s tax returns. But taxes influence far more than a historical filing. Entity structure, operational decisions, and even how your Investor group is organized can directly affect financing eligibility, deal structure, and post close performance. This session we're bringing ^Daniel Gayer, ^Laura Gieseke & ^redacted‌ to unpack how taxes actually show up across the ETA journey. What to look for in Seller tax returns during diligence. How entity structure impacts financing and eligibility. Where tax issues tend to surface after closing. And how your Investor structure can influence tax treatment across the deal. We will walk through how experienced legal and financial advisors approach these questions in real transactions and where Searchers most commonly get surprised. If you are actively Searching, under LOI, or operating, this session will help you ask better questions, structure smarter deals, and avoid expensive mistakes. *** Registration required for attendance: https://luma.com/sfctaxes226 ***
