Aff Family office design and setup Our approach to designing and delivering family office services is rooted in a review of eight key areas that, if addressed effectively, determine long-term success. The major advantage of this approach is the way we scrutinize subject areas with a holistic view to operational, regulatory, tax, strategic and family-related aspects. This enables us to uncover hidden opportunities and risks, which might have been missed if we were to examine each area individually. Why set up a family office? 1) Your family and business are growing, and your business staff are distracted by supporting family needs. 2) You have a liquidity event, such as selling the business. There are many reasons why setting up a family office might make sense. Below are the advantages and concerns most frequently identified: Advantages • Maintain family cohesion • Maximize privacy and control over assets • Manage family risks • Support family entities and investments • Service family houses and other holdings Concerns • Cost of family office setup and operations • Complexity of market, legal and tax infrastructures • Difficulties in identifying and managing staff • Obtaining expert advice across a wide range of topics Types of family offices: A family office can take many forms.
