A share transfer, a merger or a capital reduction always has a tax consequence. Our lawyers and tax advisers build every transaction together: you sign knowing all its consequences.
Because poorly kept approval of accounts or a badly documented share transfer can weaken a future deal: fundraising, sale, succession. We keep your corporate records up to date, filings included.
It is a confidential contract that organises relations between shareholders: governance, entry into and exit from the capital, distribution of power. It becomes essential as soon as there are several of you in the capital.
It all depends on your company’s legal form and age, and on the beneficiaries’ profile. We compare the schemes, including their tax and social security treatment, before recommending the best fit.
