Juhtumi näide: valdusfirma

The ultimate goal of an entrepreneur is to sell its own company: this often marks a lifetime achievement and the potential ability to retire with a lump-sum of cash. From an entrepreneur you can become an investor (another great next step). There is no other way than using a holding company to maximize the future investing ability. There are so many great things you can do with a holding company: it gives you more options. Let’s say that you want to change the ownership of the company owned by the holding company, but to do this you have to: go ... Read more

PROMINEE® ülevaated

From time to time: new customers ask or search for any reviews of PROMINEE®, but they cannot find any. Unfortunately for those new customers, they forget that PROMINEE® is exactly like the provided services: discreet. This leads to the second point: positive feedback is received from happy customers, but if their names cannot be published, what value or authority do they have to others?… Third point: publishing reviews of customers on the website with changed names defeats the purpose, in all cases the reviews are meaningless. In the next few months: some case examples of problems and their solutions will ... Read more
