Webinar: Protecting Your Business Beyond You: Future-Proofing Your Business and Legacy
You’ve worked hard to set up your business and build something that you’re proud of, but what happens to your business if you’re suddenly not at the controls?
Protecting your life’s work if you lose capacity or pass away requires planning, to ensure your business survives and thrives no matter what. If a key decision maker is suddenly absent, what disruption will that have on business activities, employees, clients and stakeholders?
Join us for this webinar tailored specifically for business owners, in which Renee Stevens, Principal Lawyer and head of the Estate Planning team at Matthews Folbigg Lawyers, will cover the following areas of focus:
- What happens when a company director or shareholder dies or loses capacity
- The role of wills for business owners
- Personal v company powers of attorney – what’s the difference?
- How do companies and family trusts fit into personal estate planning
- Life insurance and superannuation
- The role of buy-sell agreements and shareholders’ agreements
Don’t leave your business’s future to chance. Register now to learn what you can do to build a fire-proof business succession plan.
