As a tax planning and consulting group for business owners, The Lane Group provides tax and consulting services for their company's  entire business cycle.  Our goal is to begin aiming for our clients' exit strategy during the start-up stage, so they may harvest the maximum value from their business operations and eventual disposition.  Thus keeping our clients from putting practices into place during their operating stage that will block  their most beneficial exit strategies.

The various Lane Group companies help our clients determine:

The most effective legal form for operating their businesses.

The best legal form for holding patents and intellectual property.

Precautions available to protect businesses and their owners from the premature death or disability of key personnel or other uncertainties. 

The most cost effective compensation structures and employee benefit plans to reward owners and to attract and retain key personnel. 

Tax efficient methods for  distributing company profits to owners.

The most effective business practices to build and maintain value in their companies.

International opportunities for cost savings, enterprise expansion and tax savings.

Methods to attract potential financing sources and buyers for company expansion or disposition.

Strategies for protecting company assets and owner's estates from creditors and litigation.
