Case Studies: Exit and Succession Planning in Action

Case Study 1: Preparing for a Family Succession

A family-owned business was ready to transition leadership to the next generation but was concerned about tax implications and continuity. We developed a succession roadmap that included a phased leadership transition, clear roles and responsibilities, and tax-efficient inheritance planning. The result? A smooth transfer of ownership with minimal disruption to the business.

Case Study 2: Maximising Value for a Business Sale

The owner of a thriving manufacturing company wanted to retire and sell their business. Our team conducted a comprehensive valuation, identified areas to improve profitability, and prepared the business for sale. Using our network and expertise, we connected them with the right buyer and negotiated a deal that exceeded their expectations.

Case Study 3: Planning an Exit for a Tech Startup

A tech entrepreneur sought our help to exit their startup while retaining equity for future growth. We structured a deal that allowed them to sell a majority stake while keeping a minority interest.
