3 Helpful Questions to Consider
This question is paramount. Are you planning on growing, selling, or handing off your business? Your ownership strategy will greatly determine your succession and planning options.
Estate and tax laws are constantly changing. You can ensure your beneficiaries receive everything you intend through a comprehensive strategy that directs the value of your business and estate to the places you desire.
An insurance policy is helpful but alone is insufficient for proper planning. Business owners need clear, solid legal agreements that provide specific guidance on how funds should be appropriately directed. Like a car without an engine, insurance without proper agreements can bring operations to a hault. Providing clarity and direction is a gift to those who will be stewarding your legacy.
