Law, tax and structuring for entrepreneurs
Personal. Clear. Sustainable.
The sustainable success of owner-managed and family-owned businesses today requires one key capability above all else: the ability to respond to change quickly, proactively and effectively — both in day-to-day operations and in growth, restructuring or succession situations.
Facts+ supports entrepreneurs and companies in designing tailored legal and tax structures and assists in their consistent implementation. The interests of the owners are always at the heart of our advisory services.
We view every mandate as an individual challenge. Working in interdisciplinary teams, we develop bespoke solutions that meaningfully combine legal, tax and commercial aspects.
Successful corporate development requires clear and future-proof structures. We advise on the design of corporate and organizational structures, particularly in multi-shareholder companies, in order to reduce conflict potential and ensure the long-term continuity of the business.
We also provide ongoing support in day-to-day operations on matters of corporate law, tax and business management, as well as capital measures, restructurings and corporate transformations.
A well-balanced financing structure is a key success factor. In addition to traditional bank financing, we advise on alternative financing options and support the structuring of equity and debt financing.
Corporate transactions offer strategic opportunities but are complex to execute. Facts+ advises buyers and sellers in M&A transactions — from structuring and negotiations through to successful completion.
Owner-managed businesses are increasingly operating on an international scale. Facts+ advises on projects with cross-border elements in both European and non-European markets, ensuring legal and tax certainty for international activities.
Our clients value direct access to dedicated contact persons who coordinate across disciplines and develop tailored solutions. This enables efficient implementation as well as a transparent and economically sound cost structure.
