Gain a better understanding of how to preserve and protect enterprise value, common errors made in the process, and strategies for reducing taxes associated with business transitions.
Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are where Americans create wealth. SMEs represent half of the U.S. GDP. In this decade, 70% of U.S. firms will be owned by persons 55 or older; half will be owned by persons over age 65. Very few of these owners know how to realize lasting wealth tied up in the enterprise value of their business at retirement. Many SME owners feel they are owned by their business and cannot retire. Failure to plan for succession destroys wealth; it is that simple. It is hard enough to make a well-planned transition work; many still fail. Without planning, the chance of the business and the wealth it represents continuing are minimal. Business succession has become a national imperative and creates enormous opportunities for qualified advisors to assist SME owners with both personal retirement and enterprise planning.
