Guidance through the entire process

Every enterprise, every entrepreneur is different from the next. This means that every take-over or is unique. Where family business transfers often benefit from an equal distribution among the descendants, and providing them with the best possible start in terms of taxation, a third-party take-over often revolves around price. And emotions often play an important role. At Vallei Accountants, you can count on a consultant who ensures a transfer process with a professional and human touch. We will guide you through the entire process. Our consultants offer their personal and professional support from A to Z. We want to help you with our constructive input on matters fiscal, legal, and emotions.

You can turn to us for advice on the following issues:

Mergers and take-overs

As an entrepreneur, you are always involved with making decisions and weighing risks and opportunities. This sometimes means having to merge with or taking over another company, or even selling your own business. Which of these choices is right for you? And how will it impact you and your business? These are matters we want to help you find the answers to. Who would be a suitable candidate? What price and conditions should you aim for? What would be an acceptable risk? We want to help you in making these considerations, and consult you on how to maximise your results – bot for you as a person, and with an eye on your financial possibilities and situation.

Family business transfers

You are looking to take a step back, but do not want to sell your business off to a third party. You want the business to remain within the family. Our consultants are very experienced in the realm of family businesses, and will offer their support and (unsolicited) advice in helping you through this process. From establishing what is best for business continuity to which of your descendants is best suited to the task of taking over. And from maximising taxation benefits to how to deal with the business offices – should they be transferred to, or liquidated to benefit your personal pension?

Due diligence

In mergers and take-overs, numbers are of crucial importance – soon giving rise to the question: how accurate are these numbers? Through a due diligence assessment, we look into exactly that – in financial, taxation, and legal terms. This way, you can be assured of a few surprises as possible.

Valuation

Whether you are looking at a merger, take-over, sale, or transfer within the family, the valuation of your enterprise is usually the starting point for negotiations. Our knowledge, expertise, and commitment allow us to come to a well-considered recommendation regarding the value of your business, thus reinforcing your negotiating position. And we make use of our network where needed.

Cessation

You are looking to get out of business. But what would be the most favourable way of doing so? Just quit working, or keep going until a certain point? Phasing out, or selling off the lot? We join you in looking at the various possibility and scenarios to come to a suitable answer for your particular situation – while naturally keeping the issue of taxation as favourable as possible.
