Businesses today operate in a landscape of increased uncertainty across the globe. Owners who periodically review and reset their structure are best placed to exploit changing circumstances and new opportunities.
The structures required for a new business consisting of a single owner-manager offering a limited range of products or services are very different from those suited for a multi-product, growing business.
There are a wide spectrum of circumstances where reviewing and reorganising your business structure can help your business achieve:
reduced tax liabilities and help you realign your business and personal goals.
greater profitability
harness efficiencies
better manage risk
Restructuring ensures that your assets and resources are performing to their best potential.
Restructuring enables you to re-organise the ownership, operational, capital, tax and legal aspects of your company to align your structure to your long-term goals and personal wealth objectives.
Restructuring should be considered every time your business prepares to or goes through a significant change or new phase in its life cycle.
Scenarios where you might consider restructuring activity include:
purchasing new assets
periods of fast growth
a need to improve tax efficiencies
working capital improvement
ring-fencing risk
exit planning.
Restructuring can take many forms and will depend on what you wish to achieve. The most common activity includes:
consolidating businesses into a group structure
establishing a new holding company
share reorganisation
