Make sure family wealth and business ownership can move the way you intend.

AMGENT coordinates the financial decisions around estate planning and business succession, including ownership, retirement funding, superannuation, insurance, liquidity and the specialist legal and accounting work required to implement the plan.

Estate planning and business succession

Legal documents are essential, but they do not by themselves create business liquidity, fund retirement after a sale, resolve ownership dependencies or ensure every superannuation benefit follows the same path. AMGENT focuses on the financial pieces that need to align with your legal intentions.

Estate planning and business succession decisions

01

Business succession pathway

Compare sale, partner transition, management buyout and family succession options alongside timing, control, retirement and personal wealth needs.

02

Life after the business

Estimate the capital and income required after exit and test how expected business proceeds, super and personal assets may support that plan.

03

Liquidity and equalisation

Identify cash needs around debt, tax, estate costs, business continuity and family outcomes where some assets are illiquid or controlling interests.

04

Insurance and ownership continuity

Consider how death or disability could affect control, valuation and the ability of remaining owners or family members to fund an intended transfer.

05

Super and beneficiaries

Review nominations and pension interests in the context of the estate plan because superannuation benefits can require separate decisions.

06

Specialist coordination

Give the lawyer, accountant and other specialists a shared view of the intended outcome and the financial dependencies that need to be addressed.

Is a business exit part of the succession plan?

Use the business exit checklist before comparing sale, family succession or management transition pathways.

Legal work remains legal work

AMGENT does not replace legal advice. The financial plan can clarify objectives, funding and dependencies, while the appropriate legal professional prepares or advises on wills, trusts, agreements and other legal documents.

Planning a business transition?

Start with the preferred outcome and what retirement needs to look like after the business changes hands.
