Succession Planning

Many of our clients build successful businesses operating in wide ranging industry sectors.  Some are limited companies, others sole traders and partnerships.  However, they all have one decision to make at some stage ................   What happens when I want to withdraw from this business? 

Scrutton Bland is experienced in dealing with these issues and explore succession planning covering from management buy-outs, third party sales, passing on the business to the next generation or even winding up the company and distributing its assets and retained profits.

When tackling these issues it is important to establish the objective at the outset and also to set a timescale in which to deal with these issues.  Planning is essential to ensure all available Capital Gains Tax reliefs are available and maintained so that any tax exposure is kept to a minimum with the use of Entrepreneur Relief or Hold-over Relief for the gift of business assets.

Looking beyond your business requires careful planning and strategies to ensure wider objections, such as Estate planning is integral to thus planning. We pride ourselves in working with you to find cost effective and proactive solutions to these issues.
