Acquisition

Client Overview

Harris Osserman, a seasoned entrepreneur, recently used Sunset to wind down his company. Following the sale of his business, Harris transitioned into an employee role and sought a reliable and efficient solution to manage the dissolution process, ensuring minimal stress and maximum ROI.

The Challenge

Harris faced several challenges during the wind-down process. He needed a service that could handle complex tasks such as an asset auction and tax management and optimization. Additionally, he required confidence that all legal and financial aspects would be handled professionally, allowing him to focus on his new role without lingering concerns about his previous venture.

Why Sunset?

Harris chose Sunset over competitors due to its comprehensive service approach and the confidence he had in their ability to manage the dissolution process effectively. He appreciated the human interaction aspect of Sunset's service, which he found more reassuring than fully automated alternatives.

The Experience

Harris highlighted several key aspects of his experience with Sunset:

  • Comprehensive Support: Sunset provided essential support throughout the process, particularly with tax management, which resulted in significant financial savings. Harris noted that Sunset helped him save tens of thousands of dollars on his tax bill.
  • Asset Sale Process: Harris used Sunset to help auction his assets/IP. He was pleased with the overall outcome of the asset sale.
  • Human Interaction: Harris valued the personal interaction with Sunset's team, which provided reassurance and support during the complex dissolution process. He noted that while automation is beneficial, having a human touch was crucial for addressing unexpected issues and providing peace of mind. "I really like the feeling that Sunset will be there to help you shut down your company for as long as it takes and do whatever nonsense it requires”
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Harris found the service to be cost-effective, especially considering the significant tax savings achieved.

The Outcome

Harris successfully completed the wind-down of his company, allowing him to transition smoothly into his new role. He appreciated the support provided by Sunset and the financial benefits resulting from their services. 

“The decision to work with Sunset was super ROI positive”

Looking Ahead

With his previous company's dissolution complete, Harris is fully focused on his new position. He appreciates the peace of mind that comes with knowing Sunset is available if any post-wind-down issues arise.
