The role of a business banking advisor includes supporting businesspeople with the planning and implementation of succession solutions. In addition to the strategic, organisational and financial aspects of business succession, legal considerations are paramount. What are the options with respect to matrimonial and inheritance law when designing a succession solution? From a company law point of view, what measures have to be put in place to ensure successful succession? How should purchase, financing and collateralisation agreements for the transfer of share rights, such as shareholder pooling agreements, be drafted? In training seminars which take place over several days, Raiffeisen’s business banking advisors examine these issues, to help them to be expert partners to the bank’s business customers.
