Financial Coaching Tips:
Protecting Your Business – A good buy-sell agreement helps to protect the interests of
each partner (or shareholder) and his or her family by clearly laying out the rules for buying
and selling shares in many different circumstances. It also helps to ensure the business can
continue even if a key participant leaves.
Cover all possibilities: The agreement needs to cover many different situations, such as death,
mental or physical disability, third-party offers, disagreements, bankruptcy and insolvency or
if either partner wishes to leave the partnership.
Establish fair value: The agreement should also provide a method for how to value their shares
if any of these situations may occur.
Get advice: Planning for multiple situations may be a complex process. Professional advice is
essential in helping prepare and properly fund an effective buy-sell agreement, employee’s
death or other unexpected event.
This also guarantees that there is a buyer for the deceased’s shares and that both partners’
wishes are determined ahead of time, reducing stress if this should occur.
Professional advice can help determine what would benefit your business or agriculture
operation.
