BIP Partner/Shareholder Protection

As a business owner, you need to prepare for uncertainties such as losing a business partner and ensure a smooth transition with a buy-sell agreement. With Sun MaxiLink Prime, you and your partners will have ready cash for a buyout plan. 

Business Succession through a Buy-Sell Agreement

For most family-owned businesses, the ownership of company shares is usually kept within select family members.  Should any of the owners pass away, the business shares of the deceased owner will legally pass on to the heirs.  This can be a dilemma especially if the intention is to prevent non-family members and unwanted heirs from joining the business. 

This common dilemma in business succession is usually managed through a Buy-Sell Agreement. If your business has multiple owners, a buy-sell agreement offers protection to both the owners and the business in case of an unforeseen event. It sets out the conditions in which an owner has the right to buy the ownership share of another owner. In a buy-sell agreement, life insurance proceeds can be used by the company or business partners to buy out the deceased partner's shares.
