The legal form of a company, once chosen, is not necessarily the appropriate legal form in each phase of your company’s development. Diverse changes to your company’s legal corporate structure, e.g. growth, prolonged loss or change of owners, require a critical review of essential aspects that can be optimized. Our reorganization experts will work with you to develop scenarios on factors such as cost optimisation, liabilities, taxation and social insurance.
The orderly settlement of succession is the basis for the secure and continued existence of your company. In this context, a sensitive approach towards customers and employees, and the optimisation of tax structuring options play an equally important role. This balance is crucial for a smooth company handover, especially in family businesses.
Our range of services for a successful company handover include:
The handover, purchase and sale of a company occurs after the consideration of all financial and tax aspects. We minimise your burdens through predictive analyzes, point out the critical details and determine the objective and subjective value of your company. Together with our team of legal experts and notaries, we coordinate the entire transaction with a contract which has been correspondingly designed and adapted and which takes into account any identified risks.
While carrying out due diligence assignments, ARTUS combines the critical view of our auditor with the experienced view of our tax consultancy team, or our payroll and accounting specialists, in order to assess any possible risks and errors in compliance and correctness.
