Succession Planning: Making the Inevitable Your Masterpiece

Succession planning is not easy in today's world of unknowns. But getting it right is critical to ensure the future success of your business.

Whether the business will be passed down within a family, transitioned to existing management or sold to an outside party, proper planning is essential to ensure a smooth transition and to avoid tax and cash flow issues, while assuring that current ownership is fairly compensated.

Johnson Financial Group and Husch Blackwell recently held a webinar that focused on the planning and execution process for transitioning a closely held business. Our panel of attorneys and financial advisors discussed:

• The importance of creating a plan focused on your happiness
• Strategies to determine and maximize the valuation of your business
• Important steps to prepare your business for sale or transition
• How to structure a transition that incentivizes key employees while shifting control to new owners
• How proper planning can minimize tax liabilities
