Helping clients sell their company shares with confidence
After years of growing a successful business, Jacky decided it was time to step back. She was ready to sell her shares and move on to the next chapter, something that felt both exciting and a little overwhelming.
This wasn’t just about walking away with a cheque. It was about protecting what she had built, making sure the deal was fair and secure, and getting her finances in order for whatever came next.
That’s when she turned to Old Mill.

Jacky knew that selling shares came with a lot of moving parts. She was worried about what might be hidden in the small print, what her tax bill could look like, and how to manage the money after the sale.
“I’d never sold shares before. I knew I needed professional advice, but I also needed someone I could trust. I didn’t want to get it wrong, not after everything I’d put into this business.”
We hear that a lot. Selling shares in a business is a big moment, and it’s easy to feel out of your depth. That’s exactly why we’re here.
We started by reviewing the share sale agreement to make sure everything was in Jacky’s best interest. No gaps. No vague clauses. Just a well-structured deal that gave them confidence and protection.
Then we looked at the tax side of things. We helped Jacky understand what she’d owe, when she’d owe it, and how she could plan ahead. We also helped her to set aside exactly what she needed – no guesswork, no nasty surprises.
Jacky left the process with:
- A solid, secure share sale agreement
- No unexpected tax bills
- A clear plan for the next stage of life
- And, above all, a sense of confidence and control
“Old Mill and Steve Martin have been absolutely invaluable throughout this process. At times, it could have been overwhelming, but their expertise and guidance made all the difference. They built such a sense of security into my share sale agreement, ensuring I was fully protected, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. Steve’s advice has been reassuring and practical, from tax planning to financial guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Old Mill to anyone needing expert, trustworthy financial support. Thank you!” — Jacky
