If I decide to sell my business in 2020 and have a $200,000 capital gain, can I choose (elect) for tax purposes to pay tax on the entire $200,000 in 2020 even though I will be paid for the business over a 7 year period?

Yes, you can elect out of installment sale. 

A related concern may be cost of Medicare premium, if client is entering retirement.
