Buy-Sell Agreements are an extremely effective Exit Strategy and Estate Planning Tool for Business Owners. Not only does a Buy-Sell Agreement stipulate an obligated Buyer (in the event of a death/disability/or other triggering event), but a properly funded Buy-Sell Agreement also stipulates the price, trigger, and necessary funds to complete the transaction.
Our Buy-Sell Agreement Services Include:
Buy-Sell Agreement Review
Complimentary informal business valuation (using five commonly used valuation methods) and summary of any issues/recommendations for an existing buy-sell agreement.
Buy-Sell Agreement Design
We work with your key tax and legal advisors to design, draft, and/or review/implement a buy-sell agreement or Buy-Sell LLC.
Buy-Sell Agreement Funding
We discuss, price, design, and implement buy-sell agreement funding vehicles. Typically, these involve key person life insurance, disability buy-out plans, or other funding vehicles if one of the participants’ uninsurable.
========================================================================================
Our services provide a starting point for discussions with your tax and legal advisors either to address potential concerns or confirm that your agreement is up-to-date and meets your current objectives.
To properly value your business and design, review, and fund a Buy-Sell Agreement we will need some information on yourself, your goals, and your company. This includes: any current buy-sell agreement (or shareholder agreement), information on your company and its owners, company financials, and any currently active insurance or deferred compensation plans.
