Case study

Situation:

Nick, the owner of a rug cleaning company, knew that with emerging competition, it soon might be a good time to sell the business. At the same time, his wife Tina’s father had just passed away and left Nick and Tina his estate. With these two events on the horizon, Nick and Tina needed to manage the impact, grow their wealth and protect their assets for their two children.

Solution:

Together, the couple worked with their UBS Advisor to:

  • Help sell Nick’s business, including meeting with the UBS Investment Bank to attract the most competitive buyers.
  • Adopt the UBS Wealth Way approach to help take proceeds from the sale and inheritance and organize their assets into three key strategies: 
    • Liquidity: Wealth for now, 
    • Longevity: Wealth for later and 
    • Legacy: Wealth for others.
  • Set up an Advisory Account with PACESM Select Advisors to help manage and invest the couple’s windfalls.
