Business Succession Planning
Business ownership encompasses a wide variety of unique considerations to prepare for the time when the owner(s) may not wish, or be able to, continue active involvement.
If a business owner unexpectedly becomes inactive, several things can happen that need to be managed to guide the future of the business entity.
Business succession planning can often involve:
- strategic choices in disability and life insurance;
- establishing a timetable;
- funding training and buyout options for a successor with a smooth transfer of ownership.
We are prepared to help.
Family Farm & Business Estate Planning
We’ll help you navigate the complexities of estate and gift taxes. These may influence your choices for assuring business stability when it comes time to pass your business to the next generation.
Family business and farm estate planning can often involve:
- potential liquidation or transfer of assets;
- transfer of registrations, permits, licenses, and business names;
- resolution of debts and taxes; and
- compliance with employment and labor laws.
We know that established plans can be affected by things changing over time. For this reason, we provide regular reviews to your plan to ensure that your assets will transfer in accordance with your wishes.
