Why Wealth & Succession Planning is Essential

Planning your financial future requires thoughtful preparation well before a liquidity event such as selling your business, IPO, or major investment round. Key decisions must be addressed proactively: Should your shares be held personally, through a holding company, or a trust? Should you optimize your financial returns through dividends or increased salary? When should you consider insurance as part of your strategic financial plan? Founded Partners provides clarity and guidance for these critical decisions.

Our Comprehensive Planning Services:

  • Liquidity Event Preparation: Ensure your business and financial affairs are structured optimally ahead of major financial transactions.

  • Wealth Structuring: Establish effective financial frameworks using holding companies, family trusts, and strategic tax planning.

  • Family Governance: Implement governance structures that align your family's vision with sustainable wealth management.

  • Long-term Financial Stability: Develop tailored strategies that preserve and enhance your financial legacy.
