With and Without a Business Succession Plan
Without a proper business succession plan, your business can be handed-off to the wrong person. It can also become part of your probate estate or be taken by your business partners. Shareholders might not want to invest in the company due to instability. Employees might become fearful of their future and they may leave the company. Get control of your business' future and devise a plan that dictates the terms of diving your interest when you no longer have one.
