Wills & estate planning for business owners

Many business owners plan ahead by applying the same thought to their business, as they do their personal estate.  This is driven by the fear that by failing to adequately protect your business you run the risk of undermining a lifetime of hard work, jeopardising the livelihood of business associates, reducing the value of the business and endangering the well-being of loved ones.

It can also mean your business does not pass on as you wish, putting the continuation of the company at risk, as well as having ongoing tax implications.
