Succession Planning for Family-Owned Businesses

Learn how to successfully build a business succession plan in order to pass down business rights.

Many entrepreneurial clients have built successful businesses but have not given due consideration to what will happen to their business after they must leave the business. This lack of attention can have devastating consequences to the business and to the client's family. Building a business succession plan can help ensure that the business will continue to operate and can create tremendous tax planning opportunities.

The information also explains common strategies and techniques in building a business succession plan, including income and transfer tax planning strategies. The material will also address the unique opportunities available for clients under the 2018 tax act. This information is critical for any advisor who has successful family owned businesses as clients.
