Business Owners and Executives:
Plan Your Relocation,
Income, and Wealth
Your business is growing internationally. Your personal affairs deserve the same attention.
Moving to Mauritius or another country, retaining equity interests in France, receiving income from multiple jurisdictions, preparing a sale, or transferring wealth: these decisions are interconnected.
LEGALYS helps you consider them together, taking into account your business activities, family ties, and future plans.
Prepare for Your Departure or Return
An international relocation requires planning before you move. Tax residency, exit taxes, and ongoing business activities or investments in France: we assess the implications of your departure and the steps to take in advance.
Our analysis considers where you live, your family circumstances, your management responsibilities, and your economic interests. We examine the interaction between the relevant countries’ laws and the tax treaties applicable to your circumstances.
We also advise when you move between countries or plan a return to France.
Structure Your Income and Equity Holdings
Salary, directors’ fees, dividends, and capital gains: your income arrangements should align with your responsibilities, corporate structures, and tax residency.
LEGALYS compares the options and their tax and social security implications. We assess how you hold your equity interests, planned distributions, and the consequences of a sale or reorganization.
Our goal is to help you make informed choices, with a clear understanding of the applicable taxes, reporting obligations, and constraints of each option.
Protect Your Family and Plan for Wealth Transfer
Your wealth may span several countries and include business interests, financial assets, and real estate.
We help you plan how these assets are held and transferred, taking into account your family objectives, governance arrangements, and tax implications.
Asset-holding companies, lifetime gifts, estate planning arrangements, and, where appropriate, trusts: we assess each tool based on its suitability, its effects in the relevant jurisdictions, and the obligations it creates.
Distressed French Company
Where a reorganization involves distressed operations or a financially troubled French company, Olivier GUERIN-GARNIER also practices French restructuring and insolvency law in Réunion and mainland France.
This experience complements the advice we provide to business owners: anticipating issues, protecting what can be protected, and aligning these matters with your personal circumstances.
