Why is succession planning important?
It’s never too early to prepare for an unexpected loss of ownership or a succession dictated by external circumstances: for the good of your company and your family.
We can help:
- by assisting you in resolving legal and financial matters;
- by advising you on powers of attorney, wills, contracts of inheritance, advance care directives and shareholder agreements;
- by assisting you with your succession planning and examination of the costs and benefits.
Consider all your options and get an idea of what every family member and other important stakeholders – such as the management team – expect.
Consider this:
- ensure continuity in your company within the family;
- create independent management and personnel structures;
- examine the legal and taxation conditions and implications.
The positive development of your business is central. So too is the cautious structuring of your total wealth at an early stage.
We can help:
- optimize your private and business asset situation
- convert company assets into private assets
- review your pension planning
