Consider this opportunity to build a lasting legacy for your business by leveraging our comprehensive services to strategize a legacy plan for the future

Step #1 - Convert to a Corporation: Transform your current LLC into a Corporation
Transforming your current Limited Liability Company (LLC) into a Corporation not only enhances your business structure but also provides increased flexibility and potential tax advantages. This strategic move positions your business for future growth, improved credibility, and a more structured management approach, fostering a legacy that stands the test of time.
Step #2 - Ownership: Shift ownership to a parent company
Shifting ownership to a parent company allows for streamlined management and succession planning. By centralizing control, you create a robust foundation for future endeavors, ensuring a smoother transition of assets and responsibilities. This step is crucial in building a legacy that is not only strong in the present but also well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Step #3 - Real Estate: Both companies rent the building from your REIT
Renting the building from your Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) not only establishes a strategic source of income but also solidifies your business's connection to valuable assets. This approach provides financial benefits, contributes to long-term stability, and forms a tangible aspect of your legacy – a well-managed and valuable real estate portfolio.
Step #4 - Holding Company: Oversee both parent company and the REIT
Introducing a Holding Company to oversee both the parent company and the REIT offers a centralized and efficient management structure. This not only simplifies decision-making processes but also strengthens the overall structure of your business legacy. By consolidating control under a Holding Company, you create a cohesive and resilient foundation for sustained success.
Step #5 - Family Trust: Place Holding Company under Trust ownership
Placing the Holding Company under the ownership of a Family Trust adds an extra layer of protection and long-term planning. This step ensures that your legacy is preserved for future generations, providing a structured and secure way to pass down assets and maintain family control. A Family Trust offers strategic advantages in estate planning, creating a lasting impact on your family's financial well-being
Step #6 - Non-Profit: Establish a Non-Profit Organization for charitable initiatives
Establishing a Non-Profit Organization as part of your legacy plan allows your business to give back to the community and create a positive impact. This philanthropic endeavor not only aligns your business with a greater purpose but also forms a meaningful aspect of your legacy. By contributing to charitable initiatives, your business becomes a force for good, leaving a lasting imprint on the world.
