– Will you have any future involvement in the company?

– Who is interested in taking over?

– What impact will there be on all members of your family?

Identify your potential successors

Consider all the angles

– Minimising Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty and Income Tax for you and
your family and remaining partners

– Retirement income planning

– Financial implications of business transfer

Contingency planning

– What will happen in the case of catastrophic injury or death?

Corporate structure issues

– Define roles and responsibilities of current family members and employees

Business valuation

– Plan to increase the value of the business particularly if it is to be sold
