Business Planning Gaps
PwC's 2023 US Family Business Survey states, "with 78% of respondents saying that protecting the family business as the most valuable family asset is their top long-term goal for the next five years (82% globally)...only 34% said they had a robust, documented and communicated succession plan in place."

Where to start?
Design and implement a "Buy/Sell Agreement" between business partners, shareholders, or between an owner and a key employee for sole proprietorships. Avoid the financial fallout of attempting to finance a buyout after an owner dies or becomes disabled. Fund it with life and disability insurance. The proceeds are generally tax free, and perfectly timed.
