Rural Business Structures

If you are carrying out an agricultural business from your land or building then you will want to consider what is the best business model structure for your enterprise. You may already be carrying out business in partnership with somebody else without even knowing it or you might be about to enter into a business arrangement and have concerns.

In recent years there have been numerous high profile legal cases linked to poor succession planning in farming families. Painful and expensive legal disputes can be avoided with the correct advice and associated legal documentation.
