What is an Ensured Installment Sale™ ? (Structured Sale)
Brief Description :
The Ensured Installment Sale™ or the Structured Sale is a method for selling appreciated assets such as real estate and businesses that allows sellers to defer capital gains taxes to future years and to collect a stream of guaranteed payments over a set number of years. In addition, the structured sale makes the transaction safer for the seller and doesn't require the seller to acquire new property.
In Depth Description:
Ensured Installment Sales™, or “Structured Sales” are simply traditional installment sales, but with a substitute “obligor” for the purchaser.
An Ensured Installment Sale™ (Structured Sale) is a new twist on the traditional installment sale that enables both the seller and buyer of appreciated assets to take advantage of tax, safety, and/or financial benefits that traditional sales methods don't offer. This method was developed by in 2005 and is becoming a sought after method for tax deferral when selling a business or real estate.
An Installment Sale is basically the sale of an appreciated asset where at least 1 payment is to be received in the year(s) after the year that the sale occurs. Installment Sales allow the seller to defer gain to the year that payment is received. This is a powerful tool that helps sellers to defer capital gains tax rather than having to pay the entire tax in the year of sale. One huge drawback to the traditional Installment Sale is that the seller takes on the risk that the buyer will not fulfill the payment agreement or the property value will decrease.
| Further problems arise, however, with sellers who are reluctant to accept the buyer’s promise to pay future installment payments because a default could mean that seller receives back his property or business after either has depreciated significantly due to market conditions, mismanagement, or both, along with the legal expenses involved in foreclosure. |
The Ensured Installment Sale™, however, transfers the buyers obligation to pay to a third party assignment company who in turn purchases an annuity from a Fortune 100 U.S. insurance company. The seller is the sole beneficiary of the Fortune 100 guaranteed annuity. This gives the seller the peace of mind that the payments will be made each and every time no matter what the buyer does.
In addition, the seller does not claim constructive receipt on the income, which enables them to defer their capital gains taxes to future years.
Even if the buyer "trashes" the business or property you will be protected and still receive each and every payment, on time - every time!
In addition to this, the seller can defer capital gains taxes, receive a guaranteed rate of return, along with several other unique benefits.
