The Issue
Once you have exchanged a contract, started a business, gone into a venture or partnership, it can be very difficult to change your operating structure, for a whole host of reasons apart from tax. But the tax implications of a wrong decision can be significant.
What we do for you
Getting your business or investment structure right, at the start, is important. It just takes a phone call and some time and effort before you take the plunge to ensure you are set up correctly. We have a team of experienced tax and business advisers who talk to clients all the time about their structure and who know what works and what doesn’t.
Be aware that what suits your colleagues may not suit you. So, take advice from the experts and call us so that we can assist.
To ensure you get started with the right structure in place, we will –
- Consider the investment, returns and risks associated with your new venture.
- Seek to understand capital requirements, future income, debt and cashflow.
- Consider these factors in light of present structures, cashflow and arrangements.
- Discuss with you issues that arise and possible alternatives.
- Provide to you our written advice, including reference to legislation where appropriate, commercial and business issues to consider and options.
- Once you have considered our advice and indicated your preference, we can efficiently execute your instructions in accordance with our advice and ensure you are transaction ready.
