Why do you need to have a Business Plan?
At some point, every owner leaves their business, voluntarily or otherwise. At the time, business owners want to receive the maximum proceeds from a sale to accomplish personal, financial, and estate planning goals.
Financial Benefits of Legacy Planning
We believe that there are four business principles that should shape a business owner's pre-sale or transfer approach:
1
Defining personal financial goals is an essential component of evaluating and managing the sale proceeds.
2
Addressing living standards and spending needs prior to the sale helps to ensure maintenance of one's lifestyle.
3
Orchestrating trust vehicles to help maximize sale value and fulfill financial goals.
4
Defining a post-sale investment plan before the sale to help implement strategies at the most opportune time.
