So You’re In Business—How Will You Get Out?

July 18, 2012 by John Kuhn, Estate Planning Attorney

Getting into business for yourself can be quite rewarding on a number of different levels. Of course it is nice being your own boss, and there may be virtually no limit to what you can achieve as you build the business over the years.

However, you have to ask yourself how you are going to exit the business after you retire or in the event of your death.

This can take some careful planning and it is a good idea to get started early on. If you intend to retire someday you have to devise a plan that leads to the fruition of your retirement goals and stick to it with discipline and diligence.

There are people who will sell the business to finance their retirement years, and there are others who want to maintain ownership of the business throughout their lives, perhaps intending to hand the business off to the next generation.

Regardless of how you would like to proceed there are going to be steps that must be taken along the way. For example, if you do intend to leave the business to a particular heir you are probably going to want to balance inheritances in some way so that the rest of the family is provided for as well.

The best way to develop a cogent long-term framework is to sit down and discuss the details with an experienced professional. Should you be interested in doing just that, right now would be a good time to pick up the phone to arrange for a consultation with a licensed and experienced South Carolina financial planning attorney.
