Why are Business Wills important?

We spend our lives working to provide for ourselves and our loved ones and, whilst it is important for everyone to make a Will, it is particularly important if you are the owner of a business or a shareholder.

The main reasons for making a Business Will are to avoid your business or shares going to:

  • Someone who has no interest in running your company.
  • Someone without the skills or experience to run it correctly.
  • Multiple parties in conflict regarding how the business should be run.

Such scenarios have the potential to cause serious disruption within a company and threaten its success.


What do I need to think about when making a Business Will?

There are numerous things to consider when making a Business Will and our expert team are on hand to assist you throughout the process.

Most importantly, you should consider who you would want to leave your business or shares to, and whether or not they are someone who would want to be involved with that business. If you believe that they would be likely to sell on your company or shares, there may be other, more efficient ways of passing on the value of your business. Speak to our team for further details.
