Foundation consulting

Foundations are playing an ever more important role in the area of non-profit making organisations and by taking on public and private charitable work.

Foundations, however, are also an established part of economic life. They are steadily gaining in importance as:

Investors on international financial markets
Real estate investors and administrators
Shareholders of significant business enterprises
A structuring and management tool in company groups
An alternative for the succession planning of companies and private assets
A method to bind and protect large family assets
A tool for commitment in a modern civil society and corporate social responsibility of companies
A platform for cross-border projects and cooperation partners from non-profit organisations, in particular in the EU

The variety of foundations requires comprehensive and individual consulting

Foundations and the concepts behind the foundations are as diverse as the goals pursued by them and the personalities and life situations of their founders. For this diversity you need a competent partner to assist you with business matters and provide effective advice.

Our experts at Rödl & Partner will assist you comprehensively and individually:

From your first foundation idea and development of a concept for your foundation (founding consulting)
With the design of the legal, tax, commercial and personnel arrangements
Up to the implementation of your goals in project work, promotion work and administrative work for the foundation
