In this episode of “Our Three Cents – Exit Planning Strategies” podcast, hosts Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, and K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, discuss the five reasons that business owners should have a buy/sell agreement in place: death, disability, divorce, distress, and disagreement. A buy-sell agreement puts down on paper who specifically can own shares of the business and how to value those shares. It is a formal agreement between shareholders of a closely held business that specifies the terms and prices of a buyout when one or more shareholders want or need to sell.
