Business succession planning (also known as exit planning) is an important part of the small to medium sized business. It is essentially the process of preparing to transfer control of a business to another person or business entity. The goal of most business owners is to transfer the business to a third party in a way that minimally disrupts business operations and that maintains or even provides for enhanced valuation of the business for the owner transferring the business. Possinger Law Firm can assist business owners with the process of developing and executing a Business Succession Plan, either as a stand-alone service, or as part of the estate planning process for the firm’s business executive clients.
Some of the important reasons for having a Business Succession Plan is that for many business owners, their business is their estate’s largest asset. Planning for estate taxes is essential, if not seeking ways to sell, gift or otherwise transfer the business to the next generation or a new buyer. Closing up shop is also a potential option for bringing a business enterprise to an end.
