Startups, Succession & Exiting Businesses
Every business has a lifecycle, and Hamlyns can help with each step. Successful businesses provide a sense of achievement and satisfaction, as well as an important investment for their owners.
A Startup can be challenging, and trying to navigate a minefield of regulatory requirements is distracting when trying to focus on building a customer base as well as ensuring everything is in place to service existing clients and customers. Hamlyns can give practical, no nonsense advice, as well as help meet your statutory requirements allowing you to get a head start on building your business.
Once a business has matured and build up a recurring customer base and reputation, owners bring on board their successors. Hopefully providing a continuing service to the customers they worked hard to win, and to keep the business running whilst they consider retirement and the next stage of life. We can advise you on how to set up a smooth succession plan, with reward schemes for key employees to make sure that you retain the right staff, to share schemes to allow them to vest an interest in the business.
When it is time to move on, we can help you exit in a tax efficient and competitive manner, allowing you to capitalise on all the of risk and hard work whilst making sure the business continues and your successors prosper.
