Why restructure your business?

A proper structure carries your business forward. Well-tuned, responsive, and built for what’s ahead. Restructuring isn’t just a legal or tax decision; it’s how you create stability, flexibility, and long-term value.

• Protect key assets
  Shield assets, such as IP, machinery or cash reserves, from operational risk or legal exposure.
• Enable investment or exit
  Make it easier to bring in capital or prepare for a future sale.
• Separate business activities
  Split out trades, brands, or teams for clearer focus and accountability.‍
• Align shareholders and incentives
  Adjust equity, introduce share schemes, or simplify ownership.‍
• Optimise for tax efficiency
  Improve group-level planning and reduce unnecessary tax friction.‍
• Plan for growth and continuity
  Build a structure that supports scaling, succession, and long-term value creation.

When restructuring makes sense

This isn’t just for big companies or corporate groups. Business structuring is about timing, not size, and the proper structure can create clarity, protection, and opportunity at any stage.

• You're bringing in investors or co-founders
  Make sure ownership, control, and incentives are agreed from the start.
• You’re launching a new business line
  Separate risk, revenue, and operations with clear boundaries.
• You're planning for exit or succession
  Set up a structure that supports transition and long-term value.‍
• You've grown too big to fail
  Put a resilient structure in place to shield what you've built.‍
• You're making employees part of the business
  Set up an EMI or share scheme to align incentives and drive performance.
