Would you like to pass on your family business to the next generation? Marxman Advocaten in Amersfoort provides guidance on business succession within family businesses. We ensure a careful, phased transfer in which control, ownership and relationships are properly arranged – so that the continuity of the business and harmony within the family are maintained. Marxman assists families with matters including: the legal structure of the transfer, establishing control and profit-sharing rights, a shareholders’ agreement between family members, and preventing future conflicts.

A careful handover

Business succession involves more than simply transferring shares. Who will have control, how do you divide ownership between children who do and do not work in the business, and how do you organise this in stages? Marxman advises on a structure that suits your family and business.

Preventing disputes

Most family disputes arise from unclear agreements. By setting out control, remuneration and exit options in advance, you can prevent problems later on. We carefully set out these agreements, for example in a shareholders’ agreement.
