What this tool does and does not include
- The starting numbers are examples only. Replace them with your own.
- Simplified 2026 estimates for a British Columbia business or owner. They leave out many real-life details such as other income, deductions and credits.
- Rates and rules change. Confirm them with the firm or the government before you act.
- Information only. This is not tax, accounting, legal or financial advice.
Good to know
- Valuation is as much art as math. A business that depends on you is worth less than one that runs without you.
- Selling shares of a qualifying small business may use the lifetime capital gains exemption, but you must meet conditions long before selling. Start planning years ahead.
- Pair this with the business planner for a longer view of the numbers.
