Business Structure Audit
A focused review of corporate ownership, governance, assets and vulnerabilities when the structure no longer reflects the business or an important decision is approaching.
- The corporate documents no longer reflect actual ownership or decision-making.
- A transaction, investment, restructuring or share transfer is approaching.
- Key assets or liabilities sit in companies with an unsuitable risk profile.
- Succession, inheritance or partner-exit arrangements need to be addressed.
- The group spans several jurisdictions and needs a coherent target structure.
