Business Succession


Helping you to pass-on what you've spent a lifetime building

As business owners ourselves, we understand that you have specialized financial planning needs. Financial planning for business owners is not only a matter of ensuring you and your family will continue to thrive after your departure, but also ensuring your that your business does too.

We help you to decide whether to keep or sell your interest at death, disability or retirement, maximizing its value for you and your family. We will also evaluate the tax consequences of your options and help you reduce their impact at the time of transfer.
