Many entrepreneurs grow their businesses in order to sell them. But not all exits end in a sale. Some entrepreneurs choose to hand over the reins to their children; others, to the next generation of management. Whatever your ultimate goal, exiting a business is a momentous event in any entrepreneur’s life. Whatever the strategy, planning is key to a successful outcome. Over many years we have advised entrepreneurs in preparing for a successful exit, helping them to maximise value, to manage the risks and to deliver the deal.
We can help you with:
- Appointing M&A advisers
- Entrepreneurs’ relief and other tax reliefs
- Negotiating and running the sale
- Protecting your wealth through trusts and estate planning
