By far the greatest motivator for most business owners is to reduce the amount of tax that they and their businesses pay.

At Sound we use various tax tools to ensure that we help our clients achieve;

• A reduction in the rate of income tax and national insurance on their personal income
• Improved cashflow by employing strategies that normally reduce corporation tax    simultaneously
• A reduction in the rate of capital gains tax on the sale of the shares or the business    itself. The same principles apply on the retirement or death of a shareholding    director
• Succession planning with greatly reduced payments of inheritance tax, which    regardless of personal tax rate, will be charged at 40%
• The use of trust arrangements whether onshore or offshore, to protect assets from    potential creditors and the Inland Revenue.

Much of the planning starts with a proper business valuation. After all we all have an idea what our homes are worth, but what are the shares in our businesses really worth?

Our Corporate Wealth Programme in conjunction with the Lifestyle Wealth Programme will ensure that we can help you achieve all of your lifestyle and financial objectives.
