Your evolving business
Transition planning for entrepreneurs
Are you optimizing the value of your company—and potentially your next venture? So many factors —with both short- and long-term consequences—come into play when you are considering selling your business. While it is never an easy decision, our involvement in the very early stages of your thinking can add important insight into helping you exit strategically—and confidently—from what is likely one of the most significant investments of your life.
An entrepreneur’s guide to selling a business and life after
In some cases, it can take five years or more to exit a business, so planning needs to begin early. Our process begins with critical pre-liquidity planning and continues through execution and closing. Prior to the transaction, we help you develop a personalized strategy that includes important estate planning considerations that can impact your long-term goals and the next generation, post-sale. Our advice addresses:
- Structure and timing
- Valuation opportunities
- Risk management
- Liquidity strategies
- Your estate, potential succession and tax considerations
- Collaboration with UBS private equity and investment banking
Once you have made your decision to sell, we can work with you to determine the right investment banking relationship. You will have many choices to consider, including the UBS Investment Bank and the boutique investment banks that are part of our UBS referral network. This network focuses primarily on middlemarket M&A and capital raising services for family-owned and entrepreneur-led businesses.
The value of insight and opportunity
Solutions tailored for your life and legacy
Whether it is helping you pursue a new business venture, explore a philanthropic passion, or educate your children about future financial responsibility, our team has the insight and broad access to UBS resources to provide you with advice and opportunities from across the firm and around the globe.
We develop diversified portfolios from a range of investments— including stocks, bonds, private equity, structured notes and alternatives—to achieve our target allocation. Depending on your specific needs, we may also work with outside portfolio managers to help us achieve the best mix of holdings. Always informed by our team‘s rigorous due diligence, this "open architecture" flexibility allows us to align the right manager with your goals.
Our recommendations are also informed by our own investment analysis as well as the global body of research and thought leadership of our Chief Investment Office (CIO). This perspective helps ensure you are receiving the firm's best strategic and tactical allocation guidance.
Purposeful philanthropy
How your wealth can make a greater impact
We can work with you to clarify your philanthropic strategy and the charitable giving program that best reflects your vision and values, as well as your investment goals. In doing so, we will also offer you access to our considerable professional network of contacts and resources that can help you transform your philanthropic passions into meaningful impact, whether through private foundations, charitable trusts, donor-advised or other vehicles.
Because many of our clients choose to use their wealth as a catalyst for positive change, we are proud to introduce them to the UBS Optimus Foundation, a uniquely structured global network of charitable foundations that focuses on the priority needs of children. The Foundation makes strategic investments in health, education and child protection—and the most promising approaches to address them.
UBS has made a powerful commitment to philanthropy worldwide. We too understand how important it is for our clients to give back and will work with you and your loved ones to develop a family vision for what you would like to accomplish and to prepare the next generation for carrying on your legacy.
