Plan ahead for orderly business continuation
Article Abstract:
Business owners can employ methods to salvage their firms from financial ruin such as liquidation, transfer to family members, or sale to other parties. Chief executive officers who have retirement plans but do not wish to sell their businesses must name their successors and train them to run the organization in their absence. Those who have intentions of selling must create a continuation plan by determining the fair market value of the business and by arranging a buy-sell agreement which redistributes ownership equitably to interested parties and surviving business members.
