The owners of a closely held business face numerous challenges.

Many of these problems can be avoided, or at least reduced, through proper planning.

This webinar will examine important considerations in the selection of the proper type of business entity for the business, describe the purpose and benefits of a buy-sell agreement, and analyze ways of saving estate taxes and income taxes upon the transfer of a closely held business.
