Zum Einsatz von Stiftungen
Business owners often ask what succession arrangements they should make in their company. One option is to use a foundation for this purpose. The discussion focuses on the strategic structuring of company succession by business owners, and how foundations can play a part in achieving certain goals. What types of foundation are there, and what are their advantages and disadvantages under civil and tax law? In this podcast in the “bei­geSTEUERt” series, Dr Hendrik Arendt, together with Dr Isabelle Holly and Dr Jasper Philippi, both of whom are experts on foundations, discusses this and many other important issues around the use of foundations in the context of company succession.
