Business Succession Planning

A key component of an estate plan for business owner involves business succession. The best plans depend on working as a team to find answers to the following questions:

• How much cash will you need to meet your retirement needs?
• How much is your business worth?
• How can you maximize the income stream generated by the sale of your ownership interest?
• How do you sell your business to a third party and pay the least possible taxes?
• How do you transfer your business to family members, co-owners, or employees while paying the least possible taxes and ensuring maximum financial security?
• How do you ensure continuity in business operations if the unexpected happens to you?
• How do you secure financial independence for your family if the unexpected happens to you?

We work with business owners to find answers to these questions and to develop an optimal plan that works for you.
