Business & Asset Protection Trust

At Wiltons Capital Trustee, we understand that for business owners, safeguarding both enterprise and personal wealth is critical. A Business Trust offers a strategic structure to separate business assets from personal and family wealth, enabling better protection, efficient tax planning, and long-term succession.

Why Establish a Business Trust with Wiltons?

Business Trusts help shield personal assets – including your family home – from claims by creditors or in the event of business failure. By holding company shares within a trust, you create a clear legal separation between personal and commercial assets.

A well-structured Business Trust can ensure the smooth transfer of ownership and control in the event of death, disability, or retirement. Combined with tailored buy-sell agreements and appropriate insurance cover, it becomes a cornerstone of robust succession planning.

Business Trusts can support income splitting and reduce exposure to higher personal tax rates. Profits distributed to a trust may be allocated to beneficiaries – such as a Family Trust – offering potential tax advantages and streamlined wealth distribution.

Placing shares in trust allows business value to accumulate within the trust structure, insulating growth from personal liabilities. This ensures that, on sale or retirement, the value remains protected and aligned with your long-term financial planning.
