Succesful succession planning requires proper preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people postpone the decision to transfer ownership to the next generation until the last minute. However, experience shows that thorough preparation yields the best results. There are many legal issues, which need to be addressed in connection with succession planning, including tax and duty issues. In-depth knowledge of these rules is therefore essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A successful succession planning also takes the next generation’s ability to obtain financing and the future corporate structure into account. As a result, it is often a good idea to start discussions at least 5-6 years before the actual transfer of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tailor-made succession planning<\/span>

Our specialists offer individually tailored succession planning<\/h2>
\n

Even if the rules and regulations are the same, succession planning does not have to be. Every business and family is unique. We always take into account the family and the business, which is now passing on to the next generation. It is important to us that a succession planning process is cost-effective and respectful of the business and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Succession planning in relation to:<\/h3><\/div>
\n

Inheritance and estate administration<\/p><\/div>

Succession planning can occur during a person’s lifetime, but it can also occur in connection with death. In the latter case, it is important to be familiar with the rules governing estate administration, inheritance, property taxes and taxation of estates.<\/a>
 <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Financing<\/p><\/div>

You may feel insecure when you are about to let go of your company. There are many legal aspects to take into acount, e.g. taxation<\/a>, the next generation’s opportunities for obtaining financing, and future corporate structure. Here, advice is vital \u2013 and we provide it through professional and attentive collaboration.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Company law and shareholder relations<\/p><\/div>

Sometimes succession planning is implemented through transfer of smaller shares over several rounds. Consequently, there will be a period of time during which both the current generation and the next generation jointly own the business. Regardless of whether the next generation is a senior employee or a family member, consideration should be given to whether or not to draw up an ‘ownership agreement’.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Taxation<\/p><\/div>

Succession planning requires in-depth knowledge of the relevant tax rules in order to find the most optimal model for planning and implementation. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of the relevant tax aspects and provide advise on the various options available in order to ensure an optimal process – and according to the wishes and needs that apply in each individual case.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prenuptial agreement and division of assets <\/p><\/div>

Prenuptial agreements can help ensure that you can keep your business in the event of divorce or separation. This helps ensure a future succession planning. However, prenuptial agreements<\/a> can also be used as a tool for implementing a succession planning, whereby you as spouses can reduce a possible future taxation.
