So what's the bottom line? Unless you plan for the eventual disposition of your business interests, the value may be diluted, not maximized. Business planning is a complex undertaking, generally requiring the efforts of more than one professional. The first step is putting together your team. Here are the key members you should include. Estate and Business Planning Attorney Choose an attorney who specializes in estate planning and business continuation. Your choice could mean the difference between successfully achieving your goals and the failure of your business plan. Life Underwriter An insurance professional can assist you in determining the best type of policy and coverage you'll need to meet your goals. Certified Public Accountant A CPA can assist you in complex business valuations. Business Appraisal Expert In the event of a disagreement with the IRS as to the value of the business interest, a trained expert in this field can provide expert assistance. Financial Planner The financial planner may be your life agent or accountant or another member of the team with broad knowledge and special training in financial planning. He/she can coordinate the efforts of the team. For more information and help with your business planning needs, contact an ABGrepresentative. |
