Life Insurance and Selling Your Business
Many older business owners eventually face the difficult decision of having to sell their business. After decades, there may not be a natural heir to take over the family business, nor may there be an employee who can provide the financial “exit” that you will likely desire to head into retirement.
If you think about it, over the long run every business will either shut down or be sold.
The smart business owner plans ahead for his or her eventual sale. As an insurance broker, we know that selling your business creates the opportunity to take advantage of life insurance. How? Life insurance policies can be invested in with the proceeds of a business sale to:
- Create tax-free or tax saving investment buckets
- Transfer excess sale proceeds into a future benefit amount for your estate
