A seller may want to sell at what the assset was worth in 2007, while the buyer wants to buy at 2011's lower value. Or, they may simply disagree on what the value is. In a direct transaction between the two of them, someone will have to give—or there will be no deal at all.

If, however, the seller sells—call this "Transaction #1"—to S.Crow Collateral Corp. as a capital-assets dealer, and S.Crow Collateral Corp., after making some changes in the deal structure, then sells— call this "Transaction #2"—to the ultimate buyer, many new possibilities may arise.

If, for example, Transaction #1 can be structured in a way that reduces the seller's tax because of the deal, and Transaction #2 can be changed in a way that reduces the buyer's tax cost in succeeding years, it may be possible for both seller and buyer to achieve exactly the deal each wants, when taxes are taken into account.

This re-structuring is called a "Price-Reconciliation Transaction", or "PRT". To find out whether a PRT is what your deal needs, ask for a no-obligation, no-fee PRT Analysis. Instead of giving up or giving in, find out what can be accomplished with a PRT.
