The most critical challenge for many small and closely held businesses owners can be planning for the succession of the business. While succession planning can create a challenge for business owners, it also provides business owners with the opportunity to plan for continued success and growth of their business and their own financial well-being.
In order to successfully plan for the future, a business succession plan needs to address the operational, ownership, tax, and estate planning issues involved when transitioning a small or closely held business.
- Who will own the business?
- Who will manage the business?
- How can the business avoid a future deadlock?
- What happens to the business in the event of disability, divorce, retirement, or death?
- What are the business tax implications of your business succession plan?
- What are the estate tax implications of your business succession plan?
These are important questions that owners of small or closely held businesses need to answer when creating a business succession plan. At NW Legacy Law, our distinct combination of business, tax, and estate planning experience will support and guide you through these tough decisions. The key to a successful business succession plan is starting the process early.
