Chadwicks Masterclass. Business Succession Planning – Where now?

Business Succession Planning - where now?

On 30th October Rachel Reeves announced changes to Business Asset Disposal Relief which will see the tax charged on business sales increase by up to 80% over the next couple of years. While tax at 18% is hardly disastrous it has brought succession planning higher up the list of priorities for many business owners.

In this session we will be looking at the main exit routes for business owners in particular looking at the advantages and disadvantages of Employee Ownership Trusts.

The session will conclude with Mark Garner sharing his personal experience alongside a discussion around business valuation techniques.
