Business Succession and Wills for Business Owners

Planning the succession of a company is a critical step in ensuring long-term stability and preserving the entrepreneur’s legacy. Without early and carefully considered planning, and without the appointment of professionally qualified and business-savvy successors, legal uncertainty, tax burdens, or family disputes may arise – putting the continuity of the business at risk.
Common challenges for companies include:
- Lack of early succession planning and clearly defined arrangements
- Tax disadvantages resulting from rushed or unstructured transfers
- Legal uncertainty surrounding inheritance arrangements and testamentary dispositions
- Insufficient protection for the entrepreneur and their family
