"FSP webinars have tremendous value for financial professionals. There is a wide array of interesting topics to choose from, and the ability to assemble a group of individuals lets you extend and amplify the value of the program. When supporting material is provided, such as articles, web sites, etc., attendees can continue the dialogue when the program ends."

Program Overview
This program covers issues a business owner faces on the transfer of his or her business. It considers planning strategies used to transfer the business, either to heirs or to a stranger, how to structure the business for sale to an outsider, and what the financial planner needs to know to achieve these objectives. Related issues of new tax laws in November, financial reform legislation, and the possible return of the estate tax also will be addressed. The program also considers Medicare and the use of long term care as they relate to the ongoing well-being of the seller and as part of the incentive package to sell the business. While the unifying thread of the example cases is that all the business owners are either at or approaching retirement, the planning concepts discussed are applicable to both, irrespective of their age when initiating this planning.
By the end of the program you will understand:
The health and wealth issues confronting business owners when selling their business
Appropriate strategies for transferring a business to heirs or to a stranger
How to structure a business for transfer and the possible use of long term care as part of the incentive package
The role of life insurance for the business owner or spouse in the transfer process
Who should attend?
Financial planners, investment advisors, insurance producers, retirement counselors, and estate planners and other financial professionals.
