Financing

Fabritius Tengnagel & Heine specialise in financing (capital procurement) particularly with regard to start-ups, innovation and expansion of business, including new and existing business areas.

Succession Planning and Restructuring

Fabritius Tengnagel & Heine give advice on succession planning in family run businesses, whether they are run as personal operations or as companies. Succession planning can also be carried out with regard to other than family members, e.g. the company’s employees.

Implementation of succession planning often requires planning of a more long-term nature. It could be necessary with a changed company structure (restructuring) on financial, tax related and personal grounds. The restructuring could e.g. relate to separation and consolidation of businesses, establishment of holding companies, subsidiaries and funds.

The purpose of planned succession planning and if necessary, restructuring is often that successors or others can take over the company in a form that is appropriate to their needs and means.

We take care of a joint solution, where both financial and personal matters are coordinated and discussed with the client, including value optimisation in used of e.g. tax free company reorganisation, tax free splits or other tax free forms of restructuring.

Management Positions

Fabritius Tengnagel & Heine carry out duties as members of management in e.g. other limited companies and partnerships.

We are able to assist management from both a legal and business perspective.
