As the saying goes, there are 2 things in life that are certain – Death and taxes. None of us really wants to think about those things. However, having a plan to prepare and ensure that our loved ones aren’t left in the lurch is important. Owning a business complicates this and understanding the value embedded in the business, both with and without the owner being involved is crucial.
