A Canoe and Your Business?

When working with closely held businesses and their advisors, our Senior Partner, Carolyn J. Smith, is fond of pointing out that a canoe and business have a lot in common. There are two times someone can get in trouble with both – getting in and getting out!

The ‘getting out’ of a business does not have to be difficult if the owners plan and prepare for their exits, whether on their own schedule or because of an unexpected event such as a death or disability.

In our latest blog, available at the link below, we look at how family businesses can plan for an orderly transition upon a triggering event such as the death, disability, retirement or withdrawal of any of the business’s shareholders, owners or business partners.

Who Do You Want to Receive Your Money?

Most of our clients have three objectives:

  • They want to minimize taxes;
  • They want to maximize the amount that goes to their family, and;
  • They want to benefit the community.

These objectives become a challenge when it comes to selling a business during their lifetime and dealing with IRAs at death.  Watch our video at the link below to learn how a standby trust may help you accomplish your goals.
