Here at Lindbeck Partners we can help you:
- Select and implement effective KPIs for your company and teams

Profit analysis refers to the techniques used to generate an overall performance evaluation from the financial perspective. Measuring your business’s profitability allows you to make better-informed decisions, whether it means closing down an unproductive division or discontinuing a product because its costs outweigh the revenue they bring into the business.

Protect Your Assets
Review Holdings & Structures

Capital Gains & Tax Issues
Have you considered the effects of capital gains tax (CGT) on your assets, or may you be considering purchasing?
CGT is the tax you pay on the profit made when you sell or dispose of assets you acquired after 19 September 1985. The capital gains are included as income in your annual income tax return, so CGT is not a separate tax but a component of your income tax.
Here at Lindbeck Partners, we can give you advice on how to minimise CGT issues now and in the future.
