Business Succession Planning!
What’s not on this list? Business Succession Planning!
24
Creating a Succession Plan
Management succession planning: Development, training, and support of successors Delegation of responsibility and authority to successors Outside directors/advisors to bring objectivity when needed Maximizing retention of key employees through equitable compensation
25
Creating a Succession Plan
Ownership transfer planning: Coordination between who will own the business vs who will manage it Consideration of the best interests of the business and owner’s family Timing of transfer during your lifetime
26
Minimize Taxes Business interests are part of your federal taxable estate. Rates range from 35% to 50% of the business value Federal Estate Tax is due to be paid to the IRS within 9 months of death Illiquid business assets are often sold to pay taxes; creates a “fire sale”
27
Minimize Taxes Two IRS tax breaks:
Section 303: allows your estate to redeem your stock with very little tax cost This is a one time opportunity Stock value must exceed 35% of your estate Section 6166: offers estate tax deferral for small business owners. More than 35% of your AGE must be from your business interests Allows executor to pay the estate tax in 10 annual installments. Alleviates the burden of a one-lump-sum payment within 9 months of death The first installment isn’t due for 5 years.
28
Avoid Probate Individually owned business interests are part of your probate estate. Revocable Living Trust: Can own business interests, thereby avoiding probate of the business asset. Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT): Can own life insurance that will NOT be included in the decedent’s probate estate nor the taxable estate.
29
Life Insurance If the business is illiquid, where will the money come from to pay taxes? If the decedent had business partners, where will they find the money to buy-out the deceased partner? Key-man insurance is a common tool to solve these problems. Each partner takes out a policy which names the other owners as beneficiaries. This gives the surviving owners tax-free proceeds to purchase the deceased’s owners interest in the business.
30
Buy-Sell Agreements A buy-sell agreement is a contract between shareholders or partners which establishes a plan for the business in case one of the owners dies or becomes incapacitated. Establishes a sale price for the business Documents whether or not you want your partners to buy out your share Gives you the ability to “block” individuals from having a role in the company Can direct heirs to sell your interest in the business
