A Buy-Sell Agreement for Business Succession
One of the key components of a business succession plan is a carefully crafted buy-sell agreement. A buy-sell agreement is a contract that aims to smooth the transition should the owner experience a sudden death or disability. Two of its functions are as follows:

  1. To create a market for a deceased owner's business interest.

  2. To obligate the owner's estate to sell his or her shares for a predetermined price to partners or shareholders (a cross-purchase agreement), to the business itself (an entity agreement), or to both (a hybrid, or "wait-and see" agreement).
Life insurance is often the preferred method for funding a buy-sell agreement. The time to plan for insurance is now, before the need arises.
