Business Succession Planning
Business Succession Planning
Whether the transfer will occur to a family member, key person, partner, or unrelated party usually requires advanced planning.
There are many ways to help secure the legacy of your business, but the first step is to build a sound strategy to meet your individual situation.
Pacific Coast Wealth Strategies works collaboratively with business owners and their tax and legal professionals to utilize a myriad of strategies and tools to accomplish your goal:
Funded Buy/Sell Agreements
Legally binding contract that establishes under what conditions, to whom and at what price an owner, partner or shareholder can or must sell his or her interest in the business. Often, these agreements are funded with permanent life insurance because it can protect your business and your family throughout your life, while providing assurances that your business will continue on your terms.
Key Person Protection
Key person protection is simply life insurance on the most important person or people in your business – those who play a critical role in keeping your business running as it should.
Installment Sale
This is a way to generate tax preferred income during the transition of your business to another party.
Outright Gifts
Sometimes, a gift of your business interest to family or various types of trusts may be the right choice for your succession and estate planning goals.
Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts
This a popular type of trust that can help minimize taxes on transfer of your business interest.
