You are planning to retire - You want to do it in style

Everyone who owns a business needs an exit strategy - and the sooner you start planning the better.

Retirement is a major step - both for the business and for you. The enterprise you have built up is a central part of your life. How efficiently you dispose of it will affect not just the business but your own style of life in the well deserved retirement years ahead.

Timing is crucial - you may need to begin preparations a lot earlier than you thought. And well-informed tax planning can help ensure that you take away more than you give away. (Fanshawe Lofts advises you seek specialist independent taxation advice).

As specialists in owner managed businesses, much of Fanshawe Lofts Corporate Finance activity is driven by the retirement of shareholders. We understand the demands an exit sale brings. We work with you to develop an exit strategy which may include a partial exit, developing an MBO team, grooming the business for sale, or researching the market for prospective purchasers. If none of the above is appropriate, we can help you manage the winding up of your business for your (the shareholders') benefit.

And when the time is right, we can manage the sale of your business, or flow the cash to you tax effectively through a liquidation.
