Cofficient has been designed with your needs in mind. Cofficient will help you to either:
- Formalise and maximise the benefits of your existing corporate structure
- Create your new corporate structure or trust structure as appropriate, or
- Provide you with a management company structure (operating as a division of Cofficient Management Limited).
Businesses evolve and thus require amendments to shareholders agreements. In some cases business owners may want to exit or separate and this also presents opportunities to structure the company for more favourable outcomes.
These services are provided according to your needs and will be charged according to a mutually agreed schedule of fees. Contact us now if you wish to discuss.
