Helping businesses plan for tomorrow
Building a successful business can take years of hard work, so planning what comes next should be given just as much attention. Successful outcomes typically require a significant investment of time and a deep understanding of the business and the owners’ objectives. The best results are often achieved through collaboration between trusted long-term advisers and specialist corporate finance and legal professionals.
Whether you’re considering retirement, exploring a management buy-out, selling your business, merging with another company or looking at re-structuring your business, having the right strategy in place can make all the difference.
At Kirk Newsholme, we work with owner-managed businesses across Yorkshire to develop tailored succession plans that protect value, minimise risk and help achieve your long-term goals.
Tailored strategy planning
Just as all businesses are unique, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to succession planning.
Our experienced team of advisers spend time getting to know and understand your business, your personal ambitions and your future plans before recommending the most appropriate route.
We can advise on:
- Mergers and de-mergers
- Management Buy-Outs (MBOs)
- Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs)
- Family succession planning
- Shareholder restructuring
- Tax-efficient exit planning
- Inheritance Tax (IHT)
Planning ahead has never been more important
Recent changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT), Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) and Inheritance Tax (IHT) mean that many business owners are reviewing their succession plans sooner than expected.
Taking advice early gives you more options and helps ensure your business is structured in the most tax-efficient way for the future.
Why choose Kirk Newsholme?
As one of Yorkshire’s leading independent accountancy firms, we combine commercial insight with technical expertise to help business owners make informed decisions with confidence.
Our team works closely with your legal and financial advisers to provide practical, joined-up advice throughout every stage of the process.
Whether you’re planning to exit in one year or ten, we’re here to help you prepare for the future.
