Private Business Planning

Northern Ireland has a high density of family businesses who are undoubtedly entrepreneurial and successful. Together they employ a significant proportion of Northern Ireland’s private sector workforce. As you will be aware however, running a family business has its very own and often quite unique set of challenges. Striking a balance between business strategy with personal objectives can be extremely complex.

At Johnston Campbell, we believe it is our role to bring simplicity from this complexity, and to work with you, to ensure a balance is achieved which will fulfill both your personal and business objectives.

We have, over a period of almost forty years, worked with businesses like yours and now find ourselves, in some instances, working with third generation enterprises having been there from the initial formation stages.

It is our experience that advising family businesses requires consideration of a wide range of issues, so we can offer a combination of specialist skills in the following areas:

• Tax efficient extraction of profits
• Effective succession planning
• Protecting the family business from unplanned events
• Providing Employee Benefits

Underpinning all of this advice, will be an audit to ensure correct and current legal arrangements are in place to ensure in the event of any unfortunate circumstances such as death or illness the correct money ends up with the correct people at the correct time.

Overlaying all this Corporate advice, will be your own personal objectives which need to taken account of and seamlessly interwoven, to ensure a consistent approach is maintained.
