WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BRING ORDER TO THE FAMILY BUSINESS?

 

In many family businesses, trust and closeness have been the foundation of growth. But as the company evolves, so do the needs of the family, the partners and the new generations.

 

Anticipating change is the best form of protection. A good family protocol and a well-designed corporate structure make it possible to:

  • Define who may join the company and under what conditions.
  • Regulate decision-making and corporate governance.
  • Plan generational succession with legal certainty and tax efficiency.
  • Protect business continuity in the face of conflicts between family members or partners.
  • Organise the transfer of shares or equity interests while minimising the tax impact.
  • Create corporate structures (holdings) that separate risks and facilitate management.

WHAT IS A FAMILY PROTOCOL?

 

A family protocol is the agreement that regulates the relationships between family, ownership and company. It is not a standard document: it is a living tool, adapted to the reality of each company and each family. It may include criteria on the incorporation of family members into the business, the regime for transferring shares or equity interests, the functions of governing bodies, remuneration policy, the exit of partners and generational succession.

 

A good protocol must be clear, realistic and aligned with current regulations. But, above all, it must be applicable in day-to-day practice.

CORPORATE STRUCTURES AND FAMILY HOLDINGS

 

Beyond the protocol, many family businesses need to review or create the corporate structure that supports the business. A well-designed family holding makes it possible to:

  • Separate business assets from personal assets.
  • Optimise the taxation of dividends, transfers and successions.
  • Facilitate the entry or exit of partners without affecting the operation of the business.
  • Prepare succession in an orderly and tax-efficient way.
  • Protect family assets from business risks.

 

At Consultoria Bosch we advise on the design, creation and review of corporate structures that are aligned with the objectives of each family business, taking into account their legal, tax and organisational implications.

SPECIFIC SERVICES
1

Initial diagnosis of the family business

We analyse the starting point: corporate structure, ownership of shares or equity interests, internal organisation, relationship between partners, family situation and future objectives. The starting point for designing any solution.

2

Design and drafting of the family protocol

We prepare a document adapted to the reality of the company and the family, with clear criteria on governance, decision-making, incorporation of family members, transfer of shares or equity interests and conflict resolution mechanisms.

3

Shareholders’ agreements and complementary agreements

When necessary, the protocol is complemented with shareholders’ agreements, amendments to the articles of association or other commercial documents that strengthen its legal effectiveness.

4

Corporate structures and family holdings

We advise on the creation or review of corporate structures that help organise business assets, separate risks, facilitate management and prepare succession.

5

Tax planning for succession and business transfer

We analyse the tax impact of decisions linked to succession, donations, the purchase and sale of shares or equity interests, succession agreements or corporate reorganisations.

6

Generational succession

We support the business family in defining the succession process: legal, tax and organisational. So that the transition is orderly and secure.

7

Review of wills, succession agreements and matrimonial agreements

We coordinate the family protocol with the necessary civil and succession instruments to avoid contradictions and strengthen legal certainty.

8

Support in conflict situations

When tensions already exist between partners or family members, we help organise the situation and seek practical, realistic and legally sound solutions.

COMMITMENT
1

Clear, straightforward and direct

We work so that the business family understands each decision and its legal, tax and corporate consequences.

2

Adapted to each reality

No two family protocols are the same. We listen to the situation of each company and propose solutions adapted to its stage, size and objectives.

3

Cross-disciplinary vision

The family protocol is not only a legal matter. It has tax, corporate, asset-related and succession implications. That is why we approach it from a global perspective.

4

Prevention as a value

Good advice makes it possible to anticipate conflicts, reduce risks and make decisions with greater confidence.

5

Practical and applicable solutions

The document must serve the family and the company. It must be understandable, useful and coherent with the reality of the business.

WHEN IS

THE RIGHT TIME

TO PLAN?

 

The best time to prepare a family protocol and review the corporate structure is before conflict appears.

 

It is especially recommended when:

  • The second generation is starting to join the business.
  • There are several siblings, cousins or family branches involved.
  • Some family members work in the company and others are only owners.
  • A transfer of shares or equity interests or a corporate reorganisation is expected.
  • There is a wish to create or review a family holding.
  • The company has grown and needs to organise decision-making.
  • There is a wish to plan the business succession from a tax perspective.
  • There is a wish to protect the long-term continuity of the business.

 

Planning does not mean mistrust. It means taking care of the company, protecting the family and giving continuity to the project.

DO YOU HAVE A FAMILY BUSINESS

AND WANT TO ORGANISE

ITS FUTURE?

 

Each family business has its own history, structure and challenges. That is why it is important to analyse each case individually and define a strategy that combines legal certainty, tax efficiency and business continuity.

 

At Consultoria Bosch, we support you throughout the entire process: from the initial diagnosis to the drafting of the family protocol, the design of the corporate structure and the implementation of the necessary agreements.
