Entrepreneurs

We begin by ensuring the right foundations: share classes, founders’ agreements, and tax-efficient equity incentives such as EMI or CSOP options. As the business scales, we advise on tax planning for owner-managers, cross-border expansion, and safeguarding personal wealth from commercial risk.

When it comes to exits and other liquidity events, we provide strategic support well in advance of the deal, whether it’s a trade sale, MBO or secondary buyout.

We optimise structuring, timing and tax efficiency, and assist with pre-exit reorganisation and shareholder alignment. Post-exit, we help founders manage liquidity, establish tax-efficient investment vehicles and plan their own succession.

Importantly, we understand that your business is personal. We work with founders to protect their vision and values – not just their valuation. Our role is to keep the future as front-of-mind as the present.
