Companies

Businesses or company structures have been used for over a century as effective wealth management solutions. As the owners of the company are issued shares, it enables individuals to access funds as income, profit share, bonus and dividend payments. Corporate taxes are typically lower than personal taxes and shares can be transferred relatively easily between parties.

 

As a company is a commercial entity, it cannot die, which often helps with succession planning and estate transfer. Assets are also protected from personal liability and institutions generally have greater flexibility and access to investment opportunities.
