Go over SlideNo Money to fund buy/sell or Succession / Estate plan – Up the Creek w/o a paddle
Can your child run the businessDifference between Equal and EquitableDo you go 50 - 50 or 51 – 49. Better to have someone in control, instead of no one being able to make a decision.Different assets to those in business and those not in the business. Children not in business should not gain form the work of their siblings, nor should they be penalized for their failures.Keep in mind the difference between equal and equitableBuy/Sell – Based on Valuation – plus or minus premium or disc to purchaser. Seller has option to be the buyer instead at the same price.Planning done correctly – Still got screwed up. Death of Father and Daughter, Son left with minority interest.
BV Should be part of every buy/sell agreement. Sales price does not have to equal the value, but be part of the formula.Way to determine value without getting a lot of lawyers involved and a way to keep it out of court.Insure a fair price is being paid or receivedCan be part of a purchase agreement where final price is based on results down the roadOther owner – pure investor – how to you determine a price to buy him out.
Death of partner – Now your partners wife is you new partner - Business Killers – Video – Business Owner and wife of deceased owner. Given recent economy, wife may be the happy one.Death of a parent – Is there cash to fund the estate taxes or will the business have to be sold. Go over Business Killers.Succession Plan – How to use the valuation / type of valuation – keep owners informed with general info and values. A calculation of value should be fine. Triggering event – Death of parent, business partner, investor. McLaren story – successful start – profitable in the recession – good outlook – investor died, estate called loans. No buy/ sell, no insurance on investor. Had to close doors. Fortunately he found a new investor. Unfortunately, the new investor changed his mind and pulled his money. Jewelry store is now out of business.Need a funding mechanism. Accumulate funds, borrow from bank, find an individual investor, get life insuranceNot here to sell insurance, but may be the easiest way to fund the plan.
I have good brief explanation of possible changes in gift and estate laws and what the changes have been. Leave card and I will be happy to send them to you.Did not hand out copy of PowerPoint – Goes in bag which goes in the corner, never to be seen again , execpt when you dump it out because you need the bag to carry some stuff.
