Is Your Business a "House of Cards"?

Most business owners protect their buildings and equipment but leave their most valuable assets, their people, and their equity exposed. Take the 2-minute audit to identify your hidden "trapdoors."
- Identify Control Gaps: Ensure you never end up in business with a partner's spouse.
- Expose Financial Risks: Discover if your bank accounts could be restricted with little or no notice.
- Stop Tax Leakage: Learn how to avoid a 40% Inheritance Tax trap on business shares.
The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances
A copy of the report will also be provided to Navigation, should you wish to discuss the outcome any further.
How it works
Answer 5 questions about your business
Most business owners spend years building their "Revenue Engine," but very few spend time checking the "Safety Valves."
The following 5 questions are designed to stress-test your current business structure. They focus on the four critical pillars of corporate resilience: Ownership, Revenue, Debt, and Capacity.
How to answer:
- Yes: This safeguard is legally documented, funded, and currently in place.
- No: This is a known gap or something you haven't yet addressed.
- Unsure: If you aren't certain the protection is there, for the purposes of a risk audit, it is considered a vulnerability
