Corporate Services at Castle Court 

Business Diagnostic

We help owners and directors identify a road map for the future of their company - an essential component in highlighting both the company's future objectives and threats to achieving these objectives.

Remuneration Audit

Our goal is to help business owners keep more of the company worth they generate.

We study the existing methods of remuneration of company directors and business owners and, where possible, we look to improve the overall tax efficiency of remunerating the key individuals.

Company Values

Do you know how much your business is worth? We bring a structured, methodical approach to valuing companies in preparation for a sale or future sale.

Corporate Grooming

It's the little things in business that often make the most impression with investors. We ensure companies are "in shape" should they wish to float, or achieve an AIM listing and so that they represent an attractive purchase in the event of a merger or sale.

Sales, Mergers & Acquisitions

We identify a clear exit route for the business owner either through a direct sale or merger. We analyse potential merger and acquisition opportunities to ensure the maximum return for you and your company's shareholders.

Succession Planning

Using tax efficient reward arrangements, we can help create the right conditions for successful management buy-outs that compensate both the business owner and the company.

Human Resources

A company's greatest assets are its employees. By identifying a sound and rewarding path of employment for employees, companies can keep talent within the business and future directors can emerge.

Business Protection

Company instability, as when a major shareholder dies or decides to sell, can undermine years of good business growth and even spell the end of the company.

We help companies protect their bedrock shares while ensuring that shareholders and their families are still able to realise the rewards of their investment.

Key Person Protection

A company can be vulnerable when it is reliant on certain individuals and their specialist skills, knowledge and experience.

If this individual contributes significantly to the profits it is essential that his/her untimely death would not trigger the financial death of the business. Key Person protection ensures business continuity.
