As a business owner, you know first-hand the amount of dedication and hard work you have put into your company. How much time have you spent considering the impact of your untimely death on the value of your business? Statistics show that only 26% of small business owners have a business continuation plan in place. On average, 45% of the business owner’s net worth is tied up in the business. With prudent planning, this value can be preserved and enhanced for the benefit of your family or key employees. Business continuation plans, properly funded buy-sell agreements, and key person life insurance are vital components to preserving the value of your years of hard work.
