Agriculture & Forestry

Let your success take root and grow.

Agriculture and forestry are among the most traditional – and most demanding – sectors. Unpredictable weather, rising operating costs, intense price pressures and complex tax regulations place high demands on agricultural businesses. At the same time, new marketing channels, funding programmes, digitalisation and modern operational structures open up exciting opportunities for a successful economic future.

Our experienced team of experts supports you with all your tax, financial and business-related questions – from choosing the optimal legal structure and assessing flat-rate tax options to managing farm succession smooth and successfully. We also provide expert advice on direct marketing, secondary agricultural activities, leasing and subleasing of land and farming operations.

In addition, we advise on investment and financing decisions, assist with bank negotiations and funding applications, and provide comprehensive support on social security matters and the determination of the unit value of agricultural properties.

With tailored advice, we help secure the long-term future of your business and unlock its full economic potential. Together, we make your success grow.
