Trusts for Businesses

Trusts are not only valuable for individuals but can also be crucial tools for business management. Thanks to their flexibility, trusts offer numerous advantages to companies, including:

Asset Protection: Isolating key business assets from operational risks, such as properties, patents, intellectual property rights, or other valuable resources.

Business Succession Planning: Managing the transition of business ownership across generations. By placing company shares in a trust, clear rules for ownership transfer can be established, reducing conflicts among heirs and ensuring business continuity.

Tax Efficiency: Particularly in succession planning or international structuring, trusts can reduce the tax impact of specific transactions, such as profit distributions or property transfers.

Business trusts can serve multiple strategic and operational purposes.

  • Protecting assets from legal or financial risks.
  • Ensuring orderly ownership transfer aligned with the founder's vision.
  • Resolving corporate or family disputes by minimizing uncertainty.
  • Managing corporate social responsibility projects by allocating profits to common-interest goals, enhancing the company's image and reputation.
