As an American searcher, are you aware that you might be able to receive $10M+ of your exit proceeds completely free of federal tax? As a Canadian searcher, are you aware that you might be able to receive $1M+ of your exit proceeds completely free of federal tax? If you’re not, then you might want to give this episode a listen.

We split today’s episode into two parts: The first half will focus on US searchers and investors, and will explore the QSBS program (aka Section 1202) offered by the US federal government.

The second half (starting at the 47 minute mark) will focus on Canadian searchers and investors, and will focus on the CCPC program and the lifetime capital gains exemption offered by the Canadian federal government.

Both programs have the potential to be incredibly lucrative for searchers and investors alike, though both remain unfamiliar to many. I hope this episode plays a small role in changing that.
