Hi Attorney Kevin Pritchett here

The Biggest Business Mistake You’re Probably Making      
One of the biggest mistakes you’re making right now with your business is…….

YOU HAVE NO SUCCESSION PLAN BUILT INTO YOUR OPERATING DOCUMENTS!!!

I’m right about that aren’t  I ???? 

      You’re so busy building and growing you pay no attention to how to pass the business  to the next generation.   Big problem…..easy solution!

Add Succession Language In Your Entity Documents   
Fortunately this is the kind of problem that has an easy solution…AS LONG AS YOU PAY ATTENTION AND ADDRESS IT!!

   Decide who you want to take over your business when you either quit, retire or die. Then make sure your Bylaws or Operating Agreement provide for whatever decision you make.

What Happens When You Become Disabled Or Die
   Further, make sure your documents state what happens to your business interests should YOU become disabled or die.  The last thing you want is for your business to be rudderless should you not be at the helm.

   If you want a family member to take over be sure to weave in language including your personal Estate Plan including Power of Attorney For Property and Revocable Living Trust.

 Be Sure To Provide For Succession Funding  
If your succession plan calls for a purchase of business interests by existing partners or employees, make sure there is a funding mechanism in place that will provide the cash required to complete the succession transaction.

   Structured correctly and purchased early enough, a cash value life insurance policy can be purchased by the company and used to pay for the purchase whether or not you die
