When you sell your company, tax can take a big bite. Or you can keep it all. The difference isn't luck. It's a structure, set up the right way, years before you sell. We build it, and we keep the proof that makes it stick.
For a sale you expect in the next 3 years.
You set up your company once, cheap, on day one. Years later you sell. The money lands. You spend it. Then a letter shows up and asks one thing your structure can't answer: where's the proof? Here's why so many people get caught.
If you own the shares in your own name, the tax break was never yours. It only works through the right kind of company. Most people learn this far too late.
A company that just holds paper, with every real decision made somewhere else, is a shell. When they look closely, an empty company fails.
The 2-year clock starts the day your company really owns the shares. Not the day you sign a "maybe later" deal. Start it too late and you're short on sale day.
Papers you put together after the letter arrives don't count. You can't fake two years of history in a weekend.
Sell your shares in the wrong order and you can drop below the line. The next slice then loses the break. The order matters.
By the time a buyer is at the table, the clock has run and the structure is locked. You can't fix the roof in the storm.
It has to be planned on purpose, set up early, run for the full two years, and written down every step of the way. Get it right and the sale is clean. Leave it to chance and it falls apart the day they ask.
You set things up, hope it lines up, and scramble for papers when the letter comes. This is how people lose the break.
You plan the structure, start the clock the right way, keep real proof every month, and check it again before you sell. This is what holds up.
Move the sliders. See what stays in your pocket when the structure is in place, instead of leaving as tax before the money even hits your account.
These are examples to show the size of the gap. Your real number depends on your facts.
Each one is a spot they check. Each one is a spot most setups quietly fail. We close all five, from day one.
The correct company owns the shares, in the right place, with the start date written down so the clock is provable.
Someone actually runs the investment: watches it, makes calls, keeps records. Not just a name on a list.
A real office where decisions get made, kept up for the whole two years, not switched on near the sale.
The company meets and decides like a true owner. Choices get made and written down as they happen.
One clean file, built as you go, ready to hand over and end the questions on the first letter.
If you make money from deals, you have the most to lose on sale day, and the most to keep.
You run money across Europe. Your holding companies need to survive your investors' checks and the taxman's questions at exit. We build for the hard look, not the hopeful one.
You hold real businesses and trophy assets for the long run. Your structure has to do three jobs at once: run, save tax, and pass on. We build all three.
You're buying into Europe, or cleaning up before a sale. Speed counts. Our structures can be live in about three weeks.
You own property across borders. The rent, the ownership, and the sale all need to run through a structure that was built on purpose, not patched together.
A simple example on a €10M sale. The cost is tiny next to what it keeps.
A big chunk of a €10M sale can leave as tax before the money ever reaches you.
Set up, kept up, and checked before you sell, over a 3-year hold. About 1.2% of the sale.
Every €1 you put in protects more than twenty you'd otherwise lose to tax. That's the whole point.
Example only, based on a made-up €10M sale. Your real numbers depend on your facts and where things sit.
Most people start with a Diagnostic, then build. A few thousand to find out, against millions to keep. Not ready to talk yet? Start free with the checklist.
The free Pre-Sale Checklist is yours, no email wall. The Diagnostic fee comes off your build in full, if you start within 60 days.
All fees are shown excluding VAT. Slovak VAT (currently 23%) applies where chargeable; for businesses registered for VAT outside Slovakia, the reverse-charge mechanism may apply.
If we miss something on the agreed schedule, that part of the fee comes straight off your bill or comes back to you. We can promise this because we've run it more than twenty times without missing.
The same way of building works for a single founder and for a whole fund family.
