Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

For private business owners managing a successful exit from their business is one of the most important events in their business lives. This book shows you how to do so with the minimum of fuss and maximum return. It is unique because the author writes from the owner's point of view bringing together in one place all you need to know about planning this complex process. Exit Strategy Planning emphasises the need to place exit planning on a firm foundation with taxation planning and business continuity planning providing the basis to ensure a smooth transition that will yield the maximum return. The first three parts of the book ('Laying the Foundations' 'Choosing your Exit Strategy' and 'Preparing and Implementing your Plans') present a best practice approach to this complex subject. Here the book highlights the importance of planning often several years in advance and explains the need to make the business 'investor ready' by identifying and removing impediments to sale. Part 3 culminates in a step-by-step guide to producing and implementing your Master Exit Strategy Plan. Following on from this the extensive appendices in Part 4 discuss in detail each of the exit options open to you (many of which you have probably never considered) and show how to choose the optimum exit route. Exit Strategy Planning is a book that will do more than save you time and money now and in the future; it will help you to maximise on what may well be a lifetime's investment. | Exit Strategy Planning Grooming Your Business for Sale or Succession

Fire Safety Law A Practical Guide for Leaseholders Building-Owners and Conveyancers

Fire Safety Law A Practical Guide for Leaseholders Building-Owners and Conveyancers

Fire Safety Law provides building-owners managers individual leaseholders mortgage-lenders landlords and anyone involved in the purchase or sale of a flat situated within a multi-occupied block with practical yet comprehensive and well-researched information regarding the subject of fire safety and the associated responsibilities obligations and rights. V. Charles Ward addresses in practical legal terms the responsibilities on building-owners to ensure that buildings are fire-safe for people who are living working or visiting those buildings and explains what protections are available to leaseholders faced with the costs of making their buildings fire-safe. The book begins with a summary of the lessons which have come from the Grenfell Inquiry before providing a practical overview of current fire-safety legislation relating to residential and commercial buildings. This legislative overview will include not only the 2005 Fire Safety Order as updated by the 2021 Fire Safety Act and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 but will also include associated and emerging legislation and official guidance in relation to fire safety including gas and electrical safety regulation as well as the Building Safety Act 2022. The book will then pull apart a typical long-residential lease within a high-rise block to identify who is directly responsible for fire safety and explain how the costs of making good the fire-risk from defective cladding might be shared out between the ground-landlord and individual residential leaseholders. Having assessed the legal situation as regards existing high-rise leaseholders the book then addresses the additional ‘due diligence’ required by prospective purchasers of individual high-rise flats as well as estate agents mortgage lenders landlords and conveyancing lawyers to ensure that what they will be buying or lending money on is ‘fire-safe’ and that any associated costs are fully accounted for. | Fire Safety Law A Practical Guide for Leaseholders Building-Owners and Conveyancers
