Business Planning
What is
business continuation planning?
Simply, business continuation planning is developing – and
then implementing – a plan of succession. Usually called a “buy-sell”
agreement, proper business continuation planning answers the question: Who will
take over my business should I die prematurely, become disabled, or simply
decide to retire.
If you’re a business owner and you don’t have a buy-sell
agreement, you may not have planned sufficiently for the future.
Depending upon how your business is owned, a buy-sell
agreement can be established between:
- You and your parents.
- Your business and its owners.
- You and other family members.
- You and key employee or employees.
A properly structured buy-sell agreement will:- Pre-determine who will receive your business.
- Set the purchase price and terms of payment.
- Establish the value of your business for federal
tax purposes.
- Specify how the transfer will be funder.
- Provide the cash needed to pay federal and state
death taxes, debts, and other estate settlement costs.
