Overview

The life cycle of the small business can be summed up in three segments: 1) starting the business; 2) operating the business; and 3) getting out of the business. This course focuses on getting out of the business. The most elusive element of owning a small business can be finding the proper exit strategy. This course is designed to provide the business consulting practitioner with tools and concepts to advise the small business owner and assist them in developing the right exit strategy. The course covers exit strategies related to third-party sales and succession planning within a family.

Major Topics:

  • How to find unrelated buyers of a business
  • Maintaining control of the business succession process
  • Turning over the reins to family members: when to give up control
  • Finding the right team to sell a business
  • Options for selling a business to an unrelated party
  • Options for selling a business to family members
  • Options for selling a business to employees
  • Overcoming the emotional attachment to a business
  • Selling to family members for a life annuity
  • Using family partnerships and trusts to transfer a business

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the process of selling a business from finding a buyer to completing the sale
  • Understand how business brokers operate and the fees that they charge
  • Discuss the difference between selling the business and leaving the business: the transition period
  • Protect the seller’s interest in a seller-financed sale
  • Understand how estate planning and family succession of a business interact
  • Understand the use of discounts in transfers of ownership interests to family members
  • Discuss when to turn over operations while maintaining control of a family business: drawing distributions from the business for retirement and receiving a step-up in basis at death
  • Understand various structuring options for family business succession

Designed for:

Practitioners with small business clients that will eventually sell that business to third parties or family members that need advice regarding exiting the business

Prerequisite:

A basic understanding of business entity types and taxation of sales of businesses

Advanced Preparation:

None
