Cash Extraction / Succession Planning

Extracting Cash from Your Business

Many successful business owners spend years building a business that they are rightfully proud of and, in doing, so they accumulate significant value in the business and cash extraction becomes a concern. The question often arises, as to how best they can extract this value for their own personal enjoyment.

Cash can be extracted through dividends or a salary, but these mechanisms are punitive from an income tax perspective. Likewise, while a director’s loan is another means of cash extraction, this too has drawbacks, not least the fact that it has to be repaid and is subject to taxation and restrictions under company law.

Having invested their lives growing a business, many owners often leave it too late to plan for the future, limiting their exit choices and, ultimately, failing to reap adequate rewards for the hours worked, energy burned and risks taken. A last-minute share sale or unplanned or forced retirement is not the way a successful business person should hope to exit their business.
