The potential problems will depend on the business type, the size of the business share, and the procedures laid down in the articles of association, the limited liability partnership (LLP) agreement or the partnership agreement if there is one.
The aim in setting up ownership protection cover is to ensure:
- the remaining business owners retain continued control of their business
- the estate of the deceased owner, or the outgoing critically ill owner, gets fair value for selling their share of the business
- the arrangement is set up in a tax-efficient way
There are several ways this can be done, depending on the type of business, which are explained in the pdf below.
Why not add even more value to the advice you give your business clients by talking to them about putting their plan in a bypass trust through their will?
