Succession & Business Restructuring
Our agents can assist with the practical implications associated with tax, trust and estate planning to secure the future of your business, through succession, diversification, sale and transfer.
Using our in-depth knowledge of values, the effects of tenancies, and practical implications for family members, we are perfectly aligned to be the first port of call for succession and future planning for your farm, estate or rural business. Regularly providing valuation and planning advice and assistance with budgeting for the future is one of our key areas of work throughout the region.
Working with clients, and often with solicitors and accountants, we can assist at every stage of your business, from concept to development to retirement planning to secure the future for the next generation.
Protecting Your Interests
We aim to work with you to find practical solutions to secure progression, and work in conjunction with advisors to evaluate your liability for capital taxation at critical stages such as:
- Property acquisition or disposal
- Agricultural and business property relief
- Asset evaluation and business restructuring
- Business succession
- Retirement and death
- Partnership dissolution
- Family changes
- Internal letting and leasing
