Life insurance may be one of the most important purchases you’ll ever make. In the event of a tragedy, life insurance proceeds can help pay the bills, continue a family business, finance future needs like your children’s education or even protect your spouse’s retirement plans.

There are several types of life insurance. How much you need and what type is right for you depends on your needs and circumstances.

Buy-Sell-Agreement

Will Your Business Continue Without You

In a Small business having a succession plan is critical for the stakeholders. The stakeholders are not just the owners. Employees and clients are also considered stakeholders. How will your stakeholders be affected if the owner retires, dies, or becomes disabled? Planning ensures that the business will continue.

A buy-sell agreement – A formal agreement that arranges for the purchase of the business upon the occurrence of certain events, is often a good strategy.
A well thought and funded buy-sell agreement can:

- Assure the business owners family a fair value for the business
- Reduce the risk of a proposed assessment from the IRS audit
- Spell out the terms of the buyout, which will be funded with life insurance
- Provides a smooth transition of ownership
- Assure a Buyer for the business
