When Maria, the owner of a successful catering company, realized her profits were shrinking under heavy taxes, she decided to seek help. Despite increasing revenue, she noticed that unnecessary tax bills and potential legal risks were eroding her bottom line. Maria turned to WiseInvest™ for corporate restructuring strategies and tax saving restructuring tips.
The Problem
- High Tax Burden: Maria was paying personal taxes on business income, leaving little room for long-term growth.
- Operational Risks: Storing profits within the same entity that managed day-to-day catering services exposed her savings to potential lawsuits or creditor claims.
The WiseInvest™ Solution
Our experts proposed a three-tier structure:
- Operating Company (OpCo)
Maria kept her main catering activities in the OpCo to handle contracts, staffing, and daily operations. - Holding Company (HoldCo)
We helped Maria create a HoldCo to receive distributed profits from the OpCo. By moving surplus funds to the HoldCo, she safeguarded earnings from potential legal actions or creditor issues tied to the catering business. - Family Trust
We advised to established a trust that allowed income splitting with family members in lower tax brackets. This approach reduced Maria’s overall tax liability and provided flexible asset distribution for future generations.
The Results
- Significant Tax Savings: By deferring or splitting income across entities, Maria saved over 30% on annual taxes.
- Risk Protection: Profits held in the HoldCo remained insulated from operational hazards.
- Generational Wealth: The trust secured a financially sound future for her children and potential heirs.
