High-Net-Worth Planning

Business-owner and shareholder coordination

Aligning company arrangements with personal estate planning.

Where a family owns a trading business, it is often both a large part of the value and one of the harder parts to turn into cash quickly. The articles, any shareholders' agreement, any trust holding shares and the owners' personal wills all have to say the same thing, and they are usually written years apart.

We keep those conversations connected, so the enquiry reaches the right specialists with the whole picture rather than one corner of it.

Things worth considering

  • Articles, agreements and wills must be consistent
  • Valuation methodology should be agreed in advance
  • Reliefs depend on the nature of the business and require advice
