Business transfer & succession

A successful transfer is prepared long before the signature.

Selling your business, passing it on to your children or taking over someone else's: it is often the operation of a lifetime. We approach it methodically — from diagnostic to completion — so that the value you have built is recognised, protected and passed on.

Your challenges

  • Knowing your company's real value before speaking to a buyer
  • Choosing between a sale to a third party, a family succession or an employee buy-out
  • Anticipating the tax and legal consequences of the operation
  • Securing continuity for the business, its teams and its client relationships.

Our approach

  • A diagnostic: strengths, weaknesses and points of attention
  • A reasoned valuation, based on recognised methods
  • Compared scenarios — legal, tax and personal wealth — before any decision
  • Coordination of all parties (notary, lawyer, banker) through to completion.

Your deliverables

  • Diagnostic and valuation report
  • Comparative note on transfer scenarios
  • Preparation plan and timetable for the operation
  • Support through to signing and beyond.

Thinking of selling or buying? Let's talk early: that is where everything is decided.
