Family and Small Business Advising
Running a business is demanding of both your time and personal energy. Sometimes we can get so carried away with the day to day running of our business that we do not plan the future of it. This is where PSL can help.
Securing the future of the business
Regardless of your business’ size the key to longevity is planning. Succession planning 
is vital if the business is to thrive and of course what happens when one of the main shareholders dies or loses capacity? If the stakeholders in the business have not planned for such events they can stop a business in its tracks. Shareholdings may be passed accidentally to people who have no stake in the business or the business could grind to a halt because the main bank signatory has lost capacity.
