As with most relationships, business partnerships start off with the best of intentions, but often don't end up that way. Life and death happen. People move on, die, or suffer debilitating health problems. The very best time to deal with such concerns is before the occurrence of a problem, not after.

The way you can prevent major problems in the event of the death/disability/or departure of a partner is with a strong buy-sell agreement.

Think of a buy-sell agreement as a "partnership pre-nup."

Mike Haselmire, Omega Financial Group, is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and will share his experiences – the good, the bad and the downright ugly -  of what happens when a strong buy-sell is in place (the good) and when it isn't (the downright ugly). Mike tells me that in over 30 years, he still hasn't seen an existing buy-sell agreement that accomplished what the shareholders wanted to happen.

You'll learn what makes up a good agreement and what you can do if you have an existing one but are not sure it's adequate for your business's needs. If you are a sole-proprietor without partners, you'll learn what you must do now to protect your surviving family members in the event of your death or disability.
