An installment sale is another option where you receive payments for your business over time, instead of in one lump sum. This allows you to defer some of the tax on the gain to later tax years, potentially taking advantage of lower tax brackets. It could also help avoid some state taxes if you stay below a certain income threshold. On the other hand, there's a risk that you might not receive the full payment, and you are exposed to liquidity and market risks. Also, as a seller you can generate additional interest income from the principal valuation amount and possibly attract more buyers.
