Supporting your business in change
Our clients are commonly companies preparing for financing and investment rounds or their initial public offering. They may also be considering internal structural arrangements within the group, buying or selling a company, developing incentives for improving personnel commitment, planning a transfer to the next generation or making other changes to ownership. The one thing they have in common is change. We are the support and resource you will want to utilize. As part of Svalner Atlas Group, we are able to provide similar financial advisory and tax services with integrated teams also in cross-border situations.
01
Early stages of business
During the early stages of their business, our clients are developing their business, pondering structural arrangements for their group, focusing on risk management and using ownership arrangements to have their key personnel commit. Startups, in particular, perform internal due diligence audits when preparing for their first financing or investment rounds or business acquisitions.

When developing new business, you plan and choose the approach and decide on the structural arrangements within the group – such as whether a new business should be organized within a separate subsidiary.
When strengthening the commitment of key individuals, we first survey the situation and use it to draw up a plan for remuneration and incentives. We then implement the system, such as an option scheme, private offering to employees or bonus system, according to the plan. Our experienced experts ensure that the remuneration system is legally valid, aligned with your goals and takes taxation into account.
02
The growth stages of a business
As operations grow, the company can expand by acquiring other businesses, gain additional momentum through investment and financing rounds and, at the same time, ensure systematic development by using various remuneration schemes to strengthen the commitment of key personnel. As early as possible, a growing company should also consider the opportunities offered by various group structures and sales structures, especially as regards tax efficiency.

When a company expands through acquisitions, the considerations should cover both the company being acquired and its people. In relation to business acquisitions, we perform structure representations, draw up letters of intent, carry out due diligence, advise regarding contracts of sale and ensure that director and shareholder agreements are in order.
These days, business acquisitions emphasise the point of view of sustainability and cultural integration following the transaction. ESG analyses are used as part of decision-making, and fluent cultural integration is ensured by applying a proactive approach and ensuring high quality planning and implementation. Sharing our expertise is also important for us – in the form of experience and best practices alongside the provided training.
03
Stabilizing and boosting business
Established companies will need to assess and optimize the functionality of their group structure. The need may arise to separate some parts of the business. The structure of the group may be reorganized by means of mergers, demergers, share exchanges and business transfers – or through share or business transactions within the group.

When rearranging the group structure, our results-driven approach also considers strengthening the commitment of new key persons and offers practical, clear advice. Instead of preparing lengthy memorandums, we will handle the process in a fluent manner and focus on what is important, applying a turnkey principle.
Changes in group structure are also commonly made in order to prepare for generational change. Early planning allows for dividing business through transfers or demergers, for example, which in turn will simplify generational change once it becomes necessary.
04
Significant changes to business
Significant changes to business may include generational change, business acquisitions and shutting down operations, for example. You may be stepping down from your company in the near future, planning to sell your company, looking to expand your operations by acquiring other companies or shutting down functions that are not profitable.

We can handle transfers to the next generation from planning to implementation, taking into account your wishes and targets. We can advance the project in a comprehensive manner, from seeking advance rulings to drawing up the necessary documentation and filing registrations with the authorities.
Business acquisitions involve structure representations, letters of intent, due diligence, advisory regarding contracts of sale and various other agreements. Sustainability and cultural integration are part of the process and the core of a successful business acquisition. After a completed business acquisition, we will assist you with asset planning and management.
