If you're like most business owners, you think about your business about 90 percent of your waking hours. Running a business is hard work, but the rewards are often immeasurable.
Business owners need to remember that changes in their life situation will impact their businesses. For example, you may be saving diligently for your retirement, but have you thought about what will happen to your business when you retire? Will your children take over the family business, or will you sell it to a business partner or an outside party? Perhaps you have implemented an income preservation plan so that your family's needs are taken care of should you become disabled or die prematurely, but are you thinking about your business as well?
If you have not included business planning in your overall wealth management strategy, now is the time to start. Here are some questions to consider as you begin your business planning:
How have you arranged for your family business to stay in the family?
When did you put your business succession plan on paper? When did you last review it and update it for structure and valuation purposes?
Is your succession plan funded for both death and disability?
What is your exit strategy for "monetizing" your business?
How protected is your business in the event you become seriously ill, severely injured, or die?
How much is your business worth? Have you insured the business at that value?
We can help make sure you have the right strategies in place to protect your business. We can analyze your current situation and, if necessary, recommend a course of action to help put in place the right strategies for your business. Call us to schedule your business planning appointment today.
