Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Business Succession
When should I start succession planning?
Ideally 5-10 years before you plan to exit. This provides time to develop successors, optimize tax planning, and create a smooth transition. However, it's never too late to start.
What is a buy-sell agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a contract between business owners that controls what happens to ownership interests upon triggering events like death, disability, retirement, or disputes. It provides certainty and protects all parties.
Should I transfer my business to family or sell to an outside buyer?
This depends on your goals, family dynamics, and the capabilities of potential successors. Your lawyer helps you evaluate options and develop a plan that achieves your objectives for the business and your family.
