for the next generation

A family business, built to outlast its founders.

SHU-FOREVER LLP (ТОО «ШУ-FOREVER») advises family-owned companies in Kazakhstan on long-term planning: who will lead next, how the family takes decisions as owners, and how profit is shared between growth and the family.

Plan a handoverTalk to us
1
Strategy

A plan longer than one year

Most family firms plan budgets, not decades. We help owners write down where the business should be in five to ten years.

  • Long-term directionMarkets, products and investments the family agrees on, written down and reviewed every year.
  • Profit policyHow much profit stays in the business for growth and reserves, and how much goes to the family, so that these decisions stop being arguments.

Succession

The next leader, prepared

Handing over a business takes years, not a single day. We help families plan it in stages.

  • Successor developmentExperience inside and outside the company, mentoring and a gradual increase in responsibility.
  • Handover roadmapWhich decisions move to the successor and when, and the founder's role afterwards.
  • Non-family managersWhen the right leader is not in the family: roles, oversight and how owners stay informed.

Governance

Rules for the owning family

Clear rules keep family relationships and business decisions apart.

  • Family charterShared values, who may work in the business and on what terms, and how disagreements are settled.
  • Owners' meetingsA regular forum with an agenda and minutes, separate from day-to-day management.

Ownership transfers, wills and shareholder agreements are legal documents. Your lawyer and notary prepare them. We prepare the business side.
