Estate Planning for the Small Business Owner

Small business owners often play a role in every part of their business. The whirlwind of day-to-day activities from marketing to providing the product or service to invoicing to staffing leave little time for the owner to plan for the future. An estate plan helps guarantee a business and your personal estate is taken care if you wish to keep the business within your family, sell your interest to co-owners, transfer it to key employees or sell it on the open market, before or after you pass away. Regardless of which option you choose, careful estate planning will ensure the business can stay up and running and be protected from large, unexpected tax liabilities.” In this webinar, we will review estate planning fundamentals, explore key issues in transitioning a business to family members, co-owners or key employees while providing for financial security and review estate planning ways to help minimize taxes and avoid probate.
