Business Planning in Arapahoe County

Create an Effective Business Plan with a Centennial Estate Planning Lawyer

As a business owner or key executive, we know that you rely on a strategic plan when making business decisions. Do you have a written plan on how you are going to exit that business with sufficient assets in time to enjoy a comfortable and rewarding retirement? Do you have a written, solid, plan that will guide the business or professional practice and retain its going-concern value for your loved ones if you unexpectedly become disabled or pass away prematurely?

If your business plan ignores these fundamental questions, you are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to cut your tax load – and you may be exposing your business to great risks that threaten its continued growth and survival. It is a sad fact that two out of every three family-owned companies do not survive the first generation, and most business owners are not able to harvest the full value of their business for their retirement and their loved ones. These owners did not plan to fail, they failed to plan.

On the other hand, it is possible to put a proven plan in place today that will protect your business, enhance its value, and allow you to harvest its entire going-concern value for your retirement and to pass to your loved ones, while at the same time minimizing or eliminating Uncle Sam's tax bite.
