Description

Buy-sell agreements are critical to protect a company, partnership or LLC against high-risk events that threaten the stability and survival of the entity, such as a member's or owner’s death, disability, retirement, termination, or sale of interest to a third-party nonmember. Establishing the ground rules for selling equity interests in a closely-held business can be done in a separate agreement or embedded within the governing documents for the business. However, often such an agreement is dismissed as something to be dealt with later, over time or perhaps not at all. Whether a corporation, LLC or partnership, every closely held-business that has more than one owner should have a buy-sell agreement to direct whether an owner can sell, transfer or convey interests, when an owner must transfer those interests and generally address values attributable to those business interests. Issues to address include: successorship issues, governance issues, valuation issues, funding issues, change-in-control issues, confidentiality and noncompete issues.
