Holding companies · Group reorganisations · Tax planning

Several companies, high profits, and a suspicion you are paying too much.
Let's look at the numbers.

The Structure Review is an analysis of your corporate and tax structure that ends with three quantified scenarios — including the one in which you change nothing. Fixed fee, 2-3 weeks, credited in full if we then work together.

Three situations we see every week

Do you recognise yourself in one of these?

01

Two or more SRLs, all held in your name.

An operating company, a property company, perhaps a shareholding. Profits come out as dividends taxed at 26% every time, even when they would be needed to reinvest or to buy another business. Nobody is steering the companies from above.

02

Profit above 100k and a tax burden that doesn't add up.

Director's fee or dividends? Profits kept in the company or in your pocket? Nobody has ever put the alternatives on one sheet with the taxes alongside. You decide every December, in a rush.

03

Children, shareholders, business succession.

You want to bring in the second generation or protect your assets from the risks of the operating business, without losing control. The shares are still held personally and every choice seems irreversible.

The product

The Structure Review.
First the numbers, then the decisions.

Not hourly advice, nor a quote in the dark: a defined piece of work, with a price and a deadline, that puts you in a position to decide well — even to do nothing.

  • 01Current snapshot. Financial statements, tax returns, articles of association, agreements, dividend and remuneration flows: we reconstruct where you really stand, in a single document.
  • 02Three quantified scenarios. Status quo and two alternative architectures (holding company, contribution, demerger, shareholders' agreements…) compared on tax burden, structural costs, governance and risks.
  • 03Our recommendation. What we would do in your place, and why. Written, signed, defensible.
  • 04Roadmap and execution costs. Each scenario has its own steps, timing and cost. The dossier is already the quote: no surprises later.
  • 05Two meetings. Kick-off (60') to gather the context, review meeting (90') to go through the numbers together and answer every question.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

i.

30-minute meeting

Free, with no obligation. You tell us the situation; we tell you honestly whether the Review makes sense in your case.

Video call or office
ii.

Kick-off and documents

An hour together on context and priorities. Then you send us financial statements, tax returns, articles of association. The 2-3 weeks start from here.

60 min
iii.

Dossier and review meeting

You receive the dossier with the three scenarios. We go through it together, number by number, and answer all your questions.

90 min
iv.

Your decision

Proceed with us (fee credited), with others, or do nothing. The dossier is yours in any case.

Honesty first

Who it is for. And who it is not for.

It makes sense if

  • You have two or more active companies, or a single one with profit consistently above €100,000.
  • Part of the profits stays in the company or is reinvested (property, acquisitions, new businesses).
  • There are several shareholders, or children to bring in, or assets to separate from operating risk.
  • You want a multi-year plan, not a December rush.

It does not make sense if

  • You are on the flat-rate regime or have a single business whose profits you spend in full every year.
  • You want "a holding company" because an acquaintance set one up: in most cases it is not needed, and we will tell you so.
  • You want a template of articles of association or a sample document: you won't find shortcuts here.
  • You are looking for aggressive schemes or solutions that would not stand up to a tax audit.

The firm

Tentori TLS,
Erba (Como).

A tax, accounting and corporate advisory firm for businesses. We advise entrepreneurs and family groups on holding companies, corporate reorganisations, extraordinary transactions and tax planning: structures we then actually manage, year after year — tax consolidation, group VAT, dividend and remuneration policies.

Every scenario we propose we have already carried out, including on our own structures. We do not recommend what we would not do ourselves.

We work from Erba with clients throughout Italy, by video call and with documents shared in a private area. We are happy to work alongside the accountant who already looks after you.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us.

Q·01Is a holding company always worthwhile?

No. In most of the cases we see, a holding company is not needed, or not needed yet. It pays off when profits stay in the company, there are several companies to coordinate, a business succession to manage or shareholders with different needs. The Structure Review exists precisely to answer this with numbers — including when the answer is no.

Q·02What exactly do I receive?

An 8–16 page dossier: a snapshot of the current structure, three quantified scenarios (status quo and two alternative architectures) compared on tax burden, structural costs, governance and risks, our recommendation, roadmap and execution costs of each scenario. Plus a kick-off and a review meeting.

Q·03How long does it take, and how much of my time does it need?

Two to three weeks from receipt of the documents (financial statements, tax returns, articles of association, any shareholders' agreements). Your commitment is about two and a half hours: a 60-minute kick-off and a 90-minute review meeting.

Q·04Do I need to change accountant?

No. We routinely work alongside the accountant who already handles your bookkeeping: they remain your point of contact, while we look after structure and planning. We never offer bookkeeping or tax returns to clients referred to us by a colleague.

Q·05What happens after the Structure Review?

You decide. If you choose to carry out one of the scenarios with us within 60 days, the fee is credited in full against the engagement. If you prefer to have it carried out by others or to do nothing, the dossier is yours: it is already the quote for the transaction.

The first step

First, the 30-minute meeting.
We decide together whether the Review makes sense.

Free, with no obligation, by video call or at our office. You leave with an honest answer: what we would do, in what order, and whether it makes sense to work together.
