Protecting My Business

As business owners we understand the time pressures and risks you face in running a successful business.

The Impact of the Death of Shareholders

So, ask yourself:

  • What would really happen to your business if a key shareholder or partner died?
  • How would the shareholders family receive the full value of their shareholding?
  • Would the deceased family want to be involved in the future direction of the business?
  • Would the company survive?
  • How would creditors and your bank react?

Contingency Planning for Business Owners

As a business owner you have significant responsibilities not just in terms of running a successful business, but also to your co-owners, shareholders, employees, investors and your family. All are dependent upon you being present in the business for their financial security.

With so many parties it is vital that you have clear agreements in place to explain how your business will continue in the event of your death or serious illness.
