With the correct business succession planning in place you, your family, your business and your business partners can be safe in the knowledge that you have the right protection in place in the event of your death, critical illness or mental/physical incapacity.
Through effective ring fencing and planning, your business assets can be from both inheritance tax and claims by third parties, such as divorce or creditors, on your beneficiaries.
Dying without the correct planning in place could have a major impact on the running of your business, your employees and on the value of your business following the death of such a key person.
Without the right planning, valuable tax allowances could be lost and your estate may end up paying more Inheritance Tax than necessary. Our advance planning can also provide additional tax planning opportunities frequently overlooked by other professionals.
Owning a business, a business interest, or shares has a real impact on how you should write your Will and plan your estate.
It’s important to carefully consider who you want to inherit your shares or business interests. Having the appropriate business succession planning can help you make sure they pass on to the right person.
Many business owners are keen for their family to be involved with their business, or you may want to pass it on to a trusted employee.
Alternatively, you may want to leave your family a sum of money equal to the value of your business or your company shares, rather than the business or shares themselves. We can ensure that you have the right structure in place to fulfil your wishes.
Strathmore Wills & Estate Planning are specialists in providing advanced succession strategies to business owners for both lifetime and death-time planning. We implement flexible frameworks to ensure that business shares, or the capital from the sale of the shares, are protected from social impacts and third party claims, such as a divorcing spouse, or creditors whilst also providing next generation tax benefits for your beneficiaries.
Went from solicitor to solicitor for advice about the best inheritance planning for my three children, and I never got any clear advice other than quotes for their service and confusing jargon. The consultant at Strathmore Wills & Estate Planning made it simple and easy for me. Thank you for your help.
