Don't Wait 'Til It's Too Late.

A Buy/Sell agreement is an agreement among business co-owners about how much one of the owners or his family will be compensated for his share of the business in the case of his death, disability, retirement, or some other future triggering event.

Do you have a Buy/Sell agreement? Does it really do what you think it does? How do you know?

For example, say you own an interest in a successful business.  Suddenly, you must sell out to your co-owners just as the business is completing its normal “down” cycle.  Surprise -- your 12-year old Buy/Sell agreement’s boilerplate valuation method excludes your most recent “up” cycle.  Result: you lose.  So, don’t discover your Buy/Sell Agreement after it blows up.  Instead, give it some respect.  Make sure it works to match your need for fairness and predictability with your business type, value drivers, and ownership model.
