Succession planning

Secure the future of your business

Every owner-managed SME will sooner or later be faced with the issue of succession. When it’s time to pass the leadership baton, your exit plan will require careful consideration of complex business, tax and legal implications. Transitioning your business needs careful planning. Succession planning is therefore an important part of the strategic business plan, which should be periodically reviewed to allow for specific changes in family and business situation. The tax burden when transitioning the business, whether gratuitously or through sale, depends largely on the previously adopted structure. A smart structure makes all the difference.
