Description

Regulated Professional Practices: Structuring, Advising and Transferring

Help a regulated professional choose the right practice structure without losing sight of personal wealth

  • 0.43 days — 3 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

For a regulated professional, the choice of practice structure shapes remuneration, insurance and social protection cover, and the eventual resale value of the practice. Many continue with an arrangement inherited from the early years of their career, without ever testing it against their family situation or their succession horizon.

This three-hour session connects the two dimensions. It reviews the practice structures available to regulated professions in the UAE and their consequences, then the wealth-related trade-offs linked to holding the premises, protecting the spouse and transferring the client or patient base. Participants work on typical client situations.

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish the practice structures available to regulated professions
  • Link the choice of structure to remuneration and social protection cover
  • Address the holding of professional premises and equipment
  • Anticipate protection of the spouse and children
  • Prepare the transfer or sale of the practice

What makes this programme different

A clear link established between practice structure and wealth consequences
Typical situations adapted to different family compositions
A discovery interview framework designed for regulated professionals
