Working for yourself, but never by yourself.

Running your own business can be a lonely place. After all, who helps the helper when big decisions need to be made?
 
We do! We love problem solving and have a full suite of business advisory services available to support you as you grow your company.

3 reasons you might need Business Advisory services.

You may not have an executive peer working in your organisation with whom you can develop strategies, discuss ideas and make important decisions.

You (hopefully) acknowledge that you don’t know everything and do not have all the answers to, for example, your competitive landscape, business strategies, operational challenges, tax legislation or market opportunities.

You are extremely busy and pressed for the time it takes to thoroughly research strategic decisions.

Business Exit Planning

The aim is to maximise value and minimise risks for your departure from your business. It involves assessing your personal and financial goals, evaluating the business, and implementing strategies for sale, transfer, or succession.

Entrepreneurs Relief

Entrepreneur's Relief offers a reduced Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rate of 10% on qualifying business asset sales or shares in a trading company, up to €1 million over the owner's lifetime. To qualify, you must have owned the business or shares for at least three years and meet specific involvement criteria. This relief aims to stimulate your entrepreneurship and business growth by rewarding you for your investment and hard work.

Retirement Relief

If you’re planning your second life, Retirement Relief offers tax benefits by reducing or exempting Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the sale of qualifying business assets or shares. To qualify, you must be aged 55 or older and have owned the assets for a specified period. This relief supports retirement planning by easing the tax burden on asset disposal, promoting business continuity, and facilitating succession planning.

Business Relief

Business Relief provides favourable tax treatment for transferring certain business assets or shares within families. This relief allows reduced Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT), or inheritance tax, for eligible transfers such as shares in family-owned companies, partnership interests, or certain agricultural property. To qualify, both transferor and transferee must meet criteria, and assets must be used for qualifying business purposes. This Relief aims to aid family business continuity and growth by lessening the tax burden on asset transfers to the next generation.

Agricultural Relief

Qualifying individuals can reduce Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT), or inheritance tax, on farmland or farm asset transfers. To qualify, both transferor and transferee must meet criteria, and the property must be used for agricultural purposes for a specified period. This relief aims to sustain family farms and the agricultural sector by easing tax burdens on intergenerational transfers.
