Allocate C-Corp sale price to your personal goodwill — avoid double tax.
In a C-Corp asset sale, portion of price attributable to owner's personal relationships, reputation, and skills (not corporate-owned goodwill) is sold personally at capital gains — avoiding corporate double taxation. Requires no employment/non-compete contract, documented personal relationships (Martin Ice Cream case). Can save 20–35% of tax on that allocation.
