Share options

Family businesses are often owned, managed and employ a range of family and non-family members.

Share options are a useful way of introducing both family and non-family members to the ownership of the business. They can also be useful to incentivise employees.

We will help you choose the most appropriate form of share option in the circumstances and consider how they can be tailored to take into account:

  • timescales
  • tax consequences
  • employee incentivisation
  • effect on ownership structure.
