Turning Your Business Into Retirement Income or a Family Legacy

Have you considered what will happen to your business when you retire? You've probably invested significant time, effort and money into it, and would like to see it continue to be successful in the future. Additionally, you may be planning to use the proceeds of a sale of your business to provide income during your retirement years.

A business succession plan is critical to help ensure that your business continues to thrive. More importantly, the plan can help to transition its value to an income source for you during retirement or provide an ongoing legacy for your family.

Selling Your Business - Buy-Sell Agreements

Recruiting good employees - or family members - can give you opportunities to develop potential successors for your business. By providing good training and ongoing communication, you'll empower them to be successful and be prepared to carry on the business. Once you have identified a successor, a buy-sell agreement can help to ensure that there is a ready buyer for your business.

Creating A Family Legacy

You, like many business owners, may not be interested in selling your business to an unrelated party in the event of death, disability or retirement. Instead, your intention may be to transfer the business to one or more family members (your children or grandchildren), who will continue to operate it as a going concern.
