Succession Planning

Sometimes there is an opportunity to transfer the ownership of a business to other family members or to existing employees or to both. This can enable owners to retire or to play a lesser role. Decisions on the timing, the individuals to be involved and the financial arrangements can be difficult and opportunities are therefore often lost through delay. Our experience in this important area enable us to offer sensitive, confidential and practical advice to allow owners to take advantage of succession opportunities.

Acquisitions and Mergers

Business expansion may involve the acquisition or a merger with an existing business. We can offer practical advice in such circumstances regarding valuations, financing, appropriate shareholdings and group structures, tax clearances and tax planning.
