Business, made personal
Throughout our history, private businesses have always been a priority for PwC. In fact, we’ve been working with companies like yours for over 175 years. Helping them grow, strengthen and—when and if the time is right—sell. We know business can be personal. So we’ll help you turn your opportunities into impact. And your ambition into success.

The Owner's Agenda
At PwC, our approach to understanding what is most important to you and your business is called “The Owner’s Agenda”. This framework is designed to assist you in developing both your ownership and business strategies in a consistent and integrated way, reflecting that you sit at the heart of each of them, and that your agenda encompasses both.
No matter where you are on your business journey, our team is at your side translating our unique vantage point and perspective into real insights that can help you succeed. We are built around you to find new opportunities and reshape the future of your business together.
How you approach your ownership strategy is key to business success and longevity but also family cohesion and happiness.
Achieving the right level of sustainable growth is an especially complex undertaking for family businesses, because of the need to consider not just the business’s goals but also those of the family.
The Owner’s Agenda illustrates our approach to developing both your ownership and business strategies.

Family offices
The managerial and administrative needs of high-net-worth families can be extensive, ranging from tax and estate planning to managing trusts and foundations. A family office can help meet those needs, tailoring the breadth and depth of its services to a given family requirements. We will advise you on setting up and operating your family office.
Foundations and philanthropic investments
There is a growing desire among individuals and companies to give back to the community. We can help you find the most effective and tax efficient way of doing that. Intelligent structuring of your philanthropic efforts maximises the good that you can do. A foundation, for instance, can be an efficient philanthropic structure and a key part of your broader wealth and business strategy.
Wills and estates
Without proper planning, estate and inheritance taxes can significantly reduce the amount of wealth available for future generations. It is important to routinely review your estate and gift plans to address changes in tax laws and to ensure your wishes remain accurately reflected.
Lifestyle and unique investments
Ownership of yachts and planes, classic cars and works of art bring unique tax issues in many jurisdictions. Tax efficient ownership via limited liability companies, companies, holdCos, trusts or other vehicles should be considered.
Succession planning
The longevity of a family business depends on early ongoing succession planning. Communicating the results of that planning to family members and other key stakeholders in a timely fashion will increase the likelihood that the business and its value will endure well beyond leadership transition. We are looking to help businesses last through generations.
Tax and investment planning
In this atmosphere of prevailing uncertainty and global economic interdependencies, it’s important to have an investment strategy that will keep you progressing steadily while also letting you remain flexible enough to capitalize on new opportunities when they arise
Environmental, Social and Governance
ESG is changing our world and has gone beyond ticking boxes. It’s about making a difference - for your business and our world. It is about creating sustained outcomes that drive value and fuel growth, whilst strengthening our environment and societies. ESG is more than a responsibility. It’s a mindset and an opportunity for growth. However, knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Let us help you create value through ESG.
