How you buy an asset is more important than how youpat for it!
Having worked and run businesses in Asia and all over Europe from small start ups to Million Dollar turnover companies Nick has had the pleasure to work with the very best professionals including Cross Border Tax Advisors, Accountants, Lawyers, Estate Planners and Tax Lawyers thus learning the very important lesson that what you pay for an asset is not as important as how you pay for it.
This is important in structuring all types of deals from real estate transaction to the acquisition of a construction company. For example, if you were form Hong Kong buying a buy to let property in London you should nearly always buy through an SPV but if you were buying a lifestyle property in Spain it would likely be best to buy in your personal name.
When looking to buy and sell companies Tax is very important and in essence it is important that you think about your exit strategy at entry and not once you own the assets This is why Deal Structures are one of the real strengths Nick brings to the table. A good example of this would be where a seller paid 10% tax but if they had listed to their own advisors would have paid 46%.
Tax is also very important when you come to plan your exit from a business and putting the right structures in place before the sale is very important. You might even want to consider being a resident in more favorable tax Jurisdiction at the time the sale of your business completes. Tax, Planning and Deal Structures are vital to protecting your wealth.
Nick would more than welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and help you plan and explore the different options for your business whether it’s a complete sale or business growth your sure to find the very best solution.
