Succession Planning Through a Foundation
The Challenge
An international entrepreneur owned multiple operating companies and investment assets through different entities. While the structure supported business growth, it lacked a clear succession framework, creating potential risks related to ownership, decision-making and business continuity in the event of incapacity or death.
Our Solution
We designed a long-term governance and succession structure using a Foundation as the ultimate owner of the group.
The Outcome
The new structure clearly separated ownership, management and control, strengthening asset protection, ensuring business continuity and establishing a robust succession framework for future generations.
