How can trust planning help prepare for a business sale?

Preparing for a business sale often involves more than negotiating a purchase price. The structure of your ownership, entities, and estate plan can have a significant impact on taxes, asset protection, and how sale proceeds are ultimately transferred and managed.

Trust planning may create opportunities to organize ownership, address succession goals, protect assets, and position your family for future wealth management before a transaction occurs. In some situations, planning completed before a sale can also create meaningful tax and transfer planning opportunities.

Because many strategies must be implemented before a transaction is underway, founders and business owners often benefit from reviewing their planning well in advance of a potential sale or liquidity event.
