Moving to an IKE is not always the right call, but for many growing businesses it becomes useful. Before we recommend anything, we compare both scenarios using your own numbers and tell you honestly which one is better.

## Who this is for

- Sole proprietorships with growing turnover and staff
- Professionals who want to separate personal and business liability
- Those planning partnerships, financing or bringing in partners

## What we handle

- Comparing scenarios using your real financial figures
- Planning and carrying out the transition
- IKE incorporation and transfer of the activity
- Ongoing accounting support after the move

## FAQ

### When does moving to an IKE not pay off?

When the size and activity of the business do not justify the extra administrative and accounting burden of a company. In that case we tell you plainly and carry on with the sole proprietorship.

### How long does the process take?

It depends on the case and on the authorities. We give you a realistic timeline once we have seen your figures.
