Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is business succession planning?

It's the plan for what happens to your business if you retire, become disabled, or pass away — who takes over, how ownership transfers, and how it's funded. Without it, a business can stall or fall apart at the worst moment. A funded plan protects your partners, employees, and family.

How does a buy-sell agreement work, and how is it funded?

A buy-sell agreement sets the terms for transferring an owner's share — who buys, at what price, and when. It's commonly funded with life and disability insurance, so the money is there to complete the purchase without draining the business. We structure and fund the agreement alongside your attorney.

What happens to my business if I become disabled or pass away?

Without a plan, the company can face leadership gaps, forced sales, or disputes among heirs and partners. A funded succession plan ensures a smooth transfer and keeps the business running and valuable. We help put the protection and funding in place before it's needed.

How do I protect my partners and my family at the same time?

A well-designed plan lets surviving partners keep control of the business while your family receives fair value for your share — funded by insurance so no one is forced to come up with cash. It prevents the classic conflict between heirs and co-owners. We coordinate it so both sides are protected.

When should I set up a succession plan?

Now, while everyone is healthy and on good terms — succession plans are far easier and cheaper to put in place before they're needed. We'll work with your attorney and CPA to build and fund it. The first conversation is free, with no obligation.
