Tax structuring – from the idea to a viable structure

The right tax decisions are often made at the outset. The choice of legal form and shareholding structure affects investments, financing and a company's further development. A well-thought-out structure lays the foundation for sustainable growth and long-term planning certainty.

Which legal form and shareholding structure is right for the venture? How can financing rounds, equity models or incentive schemes be structured effectively from a tax perspective? We advise founders, shareholders, investors and companies on developing viable solutions at different stages of growth and development.
