There are two paths the sale or transfer of a business can take: within a family, or to an outside interest. Each has its advantages, sticking points, pitfalls and personal dynamics to plan for. And because every business plan brings a unique set of circumstances, needs, wants and personalities, it is important to know what your options are. Your Orr Insurance and Investment Broker has expertise and experience to help you lay out a succession plan that lines up with your wishes.
Business owners, partners and shareholders have a variety of strategies they can apply to insure against unexpected turns of events derailing the company’s long-term business plans.
Buy-Sell Arrangements are designed to provide the capital needed to facilitate the purchase of company shares in the event of death or disability. To solve problems with share liquidity, key shareholders are covered by life insurance or disability insurance policies to provide funds needed to purchase their shares.
A protection policy for key shareholders will ensure surviving shareholders have the right, and liquidity, to buy the deceased’s share of the business from his or her estate. This is a planning strategy to prevent problems where a significant shareholder or business partner passes away and the shares are left to someone who is uninterested in the company.
Is there a significant employee in your company whose absence would threaten the viability of your business? A Key Person policy is an insurance contract that covers such a person, giving the company financial flexibility to bring someone into that role.
