Estate planning for business owners

Why is Estate Planning important for business owners?

As a business owner, it's very likely that a significant portion of you and your family’s source of income after your death may be tied up in the family business. The success of your estate plan may be dependent upon the business being transitioned to the next generation or sold to someone .
