BUSINESS STRUCTURING

STRUCTURED FOR SUCCESS

Effective business structuring advice looks at what you’ve got, understands your objectives and aspirations, and then moves you towards them by structuring your affairs in the most tax-efficient way.

So, now’s a good time to ask yourself: are your business interests structured to give you the best tax position, both now and in the future? And have you got the right platform to achieve your goals?

A TAILORED FIT

We know that every individual is unique, and how they structure their business interests will be too. That’s why our relationship will always start with you telling us about yourself. That includes your short-term aspirations, your long-term dreams, and any concerns you may have on the way.

Once we’ve had our chat, we’ll be able to help you protect value for the future, plan for an exit or succession, reduce any needless administration time/costs, and save tax.

We’ll work through and discuss all your options with you, which could include separating, merging, or holding your business interests through a company. And you can rest assured, if there’s a better way of structuring your business affairs, we’ll find it, and we’ll implement it.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU

Once we’ve established your best course of action, whether you’re separating, combining, restructuring or simplifying your business interests, there are a few recurring themes:

• Firstly, the structure has to be right for you. Tailored to your personal tax.

• Secondly, there are a number of taxes to consider on each and every transaction. Some of these can be complex, but we’ll make sure they’re explained efficiently and understood fully.

• Thirdly, structures take time to implement correctly. We’ll ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible, freeing up your valuable time and resources to focus on what really matters to you – nurturing and growing your business.

Along the way, we’ll optimise your overall tax position, and ensure you have a clear understanding of the benefits of valuable tax reliefs including Business Relief for Inheritance Tax and Entrepreneur’s Relief for Capital Gains Tax.

WE ALWAYS LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE

To help you make the most of your tax planning opportunities, it’s important we have a full understanding of what you want from our partnership.

We have significant structuring experience in dealing with all scenarios. And you can trust us to deliver technical excellence in a practical, tailored, personable way.

We also recognise that your business structure is just one part of the tax advice you need. That’s why we can work with you on other aspects too. These include broader business tax and personal tax considerations, and also ensuring your structure fits with your overall business succession planning.
