You've spent a great deal of time and energy growing your business and you want to ensure that the business continues to provide for you and your loved ones in the event of a change in company leadership. Leadership changes can stress an organization a great deal. Thomas E. Raines, PC assists business owners to establish succession plans that provide for the continued operation of the business and maximum return for the founders of the business. Establishing a succession plan for your business is key to the future success of the business and for those who helped make what the business has become today. The fact that an owner maintains a succession plan shows commitment to the success of the business and all who rely on it. Business succession plans determine who will become second generation owners, when, at what price and how the ownership change is funded. Development of a business succession plan is a multi-step process that begins with a review of organization structure of equity interests, updating wills and trusts and reviewing existing insurance policies of the owners. Shareholder/Owner agreements providing buy-in and buy-out provisions are implemented. Employee incentive and compensation plans are reviewed and updated to provide solid employee stability.
