Protecting Your Business Future: Buy-Sell Agreements with Cutler Riley
As a business owner, you’ve invested significant time and resources into building your enterprise. But what happens to your business in the event of an unexpected life event, such as death, disability, or retirement of a partner? A well-structured Buy-Sell Agreement is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition and protecting your business’s future.
What is a Buy-Sell Agreement?
A Buy-Sell Agreement is a legally binding contract among business owners that outlines the terms and conditions for the transfer of ownership interests. It specifies how and when an owner’s share of the business will be bought and sold, triggered by events like:
- Death or disability of an owner
- Retirement or voluntary departure
- Divorce or bankruptcy
Why is a Buy-Sell Agreement Essential?
Without a Buy-Sell Agreement, your business could face uncertainty, potential disputes, and even forced liquidation. It provides clarity and a pre-determined plan, ensuring:
- Business continuity and stability
- Fair valuation of ownership interests
- Protection of remaining owners and their families
- Avoidance of costly and time-consuming litigation
