Plan for the future
- If you had died or were disabled yesterday, who would own and operate your business today?
- Would your business be able to provide income if you became disabled?
- Would your business be in a position to provide income to your family in the event of your death?
- Would your estate have sufficient liquid assets to pay creditors, extinguish personal guarantees, repay business and personal loans and pay other estate settlement costs?
The three business continuation options
In planning to preserve the value of their business interests, business owners have three alternatives to evaluate. The objective of business continuation planning is to assist you in evaluating which of these alternatives would be suitable for your situation and to help provide the plan and funds needed to achieve the most suitable outcome for your business and family.
Option 1:
Continue trading profitably. This is the most desirable outcome in most situations.
Option 2:
Maintain the business value for a profitable sale. This may well be the best option for some business owners’ situation.
Option 3:
A controlled windup. This is sometimes the most practical option.
What happens to co-owners/shareholders after a death or serious disablement?
Their expectations from the business are probably different from those of the remaining shareholders
- Dividends vs salary increase
- Dividends vs investments
