Restructuring and exit
Your entrepreneurial activities change over the years, as do the demands on your company. For example, the legal form of a company that made sense at the time of its foundation may no longer be appropriate as it grows. We discuss possible steps with you, such as the transfer of a sole proprietorship to a limited liability company or look for tax-optimised solutions should you plan to sell or transfer your business.
Conceptualisation and tax comparison calculation
Transformation projects are extensive. We therefore recommend that you start by drawing up a concept, including a tax comparison calculation. We then implement this concept, if necessary together with lawyers and notaries. Subsequently, we assist you in fulfilling the tax obligations and in monitoring tax lock-up periods, for example the holding period in transformation cases.
Holding structures and tax groups
Consolidating and integrating your structures
There are various options for unifying corporate structures, e.g. instead of using a merger but the change of legal form may pose a more favourable option from a tax point of view. Similarly, companies that were necessary for certain activities may become superfluous. In such cases, a merger or a collapse merger of a company may be an efficient and cost-effective alternative to its liquidation.
Demerging
In some cases it may make sense to split up or spin off parts of a company – for example, for a planned sale or to diversify risk. We support you in planning the steps, analysing the tax consequences and implementing necessary steps afterwards, such as conversions for turnover tax or wage tax registration.
Company sale
When selling a company, we support you from the decision-making phase to the preparation and implementation of your entrepreneurial ideas. Our many years of experience in this area as well as in corporate law issues prevent friction losses in the cooperation with other advisors and lawyers.
