Business Structuring focuses on the appropriate utilization of business structures such as corporations, partnerships, contracts, etc. to position the business and business related assets for the  fulfillment of the succession strategy. 

IMPACT ON BUSINESS SUCCESSION:

Appropriately designed and coordinated stockholder, operating, and partner agreements preclude disruptive negotiations during strife and give participating principals the peace of mind that their interests in the business represent real value. Employment agreements can enhance exit strategies by authorizing the continuation of compensation and health benefits after retirement or to a spouse after death.  The nature of corporate structures, the adoption of agreements and the comprehensive nature of those agreements have significant impact upon the succession of a business.
