Much of what we talk about here pertains to building or accelerating the value of your business, and though also how to protect the value of your business.It's not enough to focus on revenue growth and profitability as a business owner who wants to exit successfully you also have to continually manage risks to the value and health of your business. And with the ever changing times we live in the risks to be managed are continually changing and keeping up with these changing risks can be difficult particularly when there is a need to focus on things like revenue growth and profitability.So we try to provide some help each year in doing that, and that's going to be our focus in this episode and one or two more here at the start of a new year.Many if not most of the business owners we work with want to sell or transfer their business to children or key employees – what we would call a sale to insiders.For many reasons, this can take years to accomplish but because of the owners goals, objectives, and desires, it can be the exit route that makes the most sense for their situation.One of the major initiatives or actions that can take a long time is to train and equip your successor or successors to be owners.Successors typically become candidates for ownership because they have proven to be exceptional and key employees – they've been good at their job or jobs and they really seem to care about the business.But, as you business owners listening understand there is much more to being a business owner than there is a key employee.DISCLAIMER: The information in this presentation is provided as education only, with the understanding that neither the presenter nor ENNIS Legacy Partners or GRF CPAs & Advisors is engaged to render legal, accounting, or other professional services.

If you're a business owner and have one or more business partners. you more than likely have at least heard of buy-sell agreements. And hopefully you have one that is well-written, current and regularly reviewed. You may also have one if you're in process of selling your business to insiders or children. A buy-sell agreement provides direction to owners and other stakeholders when the transition of an ownership interest in a business is in question. In the case of a multiple-owner business, a buy-sell agreement can be the most important business planning document they have. An important aspect of an effective buy-sell agreement is how the strategies for the unexpected events of death or disability of owners will be funded. And most often life and disability insurance is used for the funding method when the parties of the agreement are insurable. When insurance is used there are some key planning issues that need to be planned for. And today we want to alert you in a general way to the planning issues as well as a solution. that may or may not be right for your situation. But certainly a solution that should be considered by you and your advisor team.DISCLAIMER:The information in this presentation is provided as education only, with the understanding that neither the presenter nor ENNIS Legacy Partners or GRF CPAs & Advisors is engaged to render legal, accounting, or other professional services.
