ADVISORY

DLR offers specialised advisory services to create a tailor-made Dividend on Life plan.

We recognise that families have an identity separate from the businesses they own and as a result, need to define their identity by formulating their vision, values, and goals independently from that of the business.

Our family advisory services aim to guide families by defining a purpose-driven vision for the family unit, using the Vision Leadership Model©. The result is a structured family establishment with a clearly defined purpose which is supported by the family’s principles, values and various family corporate governance structures, such as a family constitution.

The tailor-made plan is designed by applying our expertise in the advisory services listed below and utilising the wide range of information available from our Accounting, Fiduciary, and Wealth divisions.

Our advisory services include:

• Offshore Structuring
• International Representation
• Estate planning
• South African and International structuring
• Property Management services
• BEE consulting and assistance with compliance
• Trade licensing (international)
• Valuations
• Business plans
• Application for funding for the expansion and/or acquisition of assets and capital expansion for working capital.
• Support services wrt to mergers and acquisitions that will strengthen your market position and financial performance.
• Growth strategies including developing new service lines or markets, expanding existing service offerings and markets served, entering into joint ventures to develop or expand services/markets, or merging with or acquiring existing operations from competitors, or other providers
