Common questions
My accountant says I need a holding company. What happens next?
Andre can implement the required legal steps and coordinate the documentation with the structure recommended by the client’s accountant or tax advisor.
Can a restructuring be completed before a business sale or succession?
Often, yes. Timing and tax consequences should be addressed with the appropriate tax professionals so the legal implementation matches the broader plan.
