Data protection when using cloud services: what startups need to know

As a lawyer, I often advise start-ups on choosing the optimal corporate structure.
One option that can offer many advantages is the dual holding structure.
But what exactly is behind it and for which startups is such a structure worthwhile?
In this video, I explain how a dual holding company is structured and which levels it comprises.
I explain how the combination of corporations and partnerships achieves a clear separation between operational business and asset management, and use practical examples to show the specific advantages for startups.
From tax advantages on exit to more capital for investments and flexibility for investors - find out how the holding structure can help your startup move forward.
But I will also shed light on possible disadvantages such as increased administrative costs.
I will give you pointers as to which startups are particularly well-suited to a dual holding company and when it is better to do without.
I also show you sensible alternatives and intermediate steps on the way to a holding structure. This video is a must for all founders who want to set the right course for the success of their startup right from the start.
