Chaffee & Associates Offers Tips to Keep Businesses in the Family
Minnetonka, MN (PRWEB) January 16, 2014 -- Keeping a business in the family is sometimes not as simple as it sounds. Chaffee & Associates is offering some advice for family business owners who seek to ensure the business stays in the family for the long-term.
In many cases, the older generation needs income security for their retirement. Prior to retirement, that income was coming from their business in the form of salary, draws or dividends. Typically, the younger generation does not have the net worth or income to purchase the business. Also, the younger generation is not bankable or cannot secure a loan to purchase the business.
The challenge, and the opportunity, is for the older generation to get the younger generation to be the buyer. Conversely, the younger generation needs the older generation to be their banker. Once there is a realization that each generation is dependent upon and benefitted by the other, the finances can then be worked out. The older generation now receives income from a buy-sell promissory note, and the new owners are using the former owner's business income to make the payments. The result is a family business retained and transferred to the next generation.
