Business Succession Planning
Plan your exit or handoff on your terms, and protect the value you’ve spent years building.
Leave your business the right way
Legacy CPAs helps business owners plan for the eventual transition of their company, whether that’s passing it to family, selling to a partner or outside buyer, or winding down. We build a succession plan that protects the value you’ve built, minimizes the tax hit, and gives everyone involved a clear, orderly path forward instead of a scramble down the road.
What's included
A clear path for the transition, and the numbers behind it.
- Succession and exit strategy planning
- Business valuation for the transition
- Tax planning to minimize the transfer burden
- Family, partner, or third-party sale guidance
- Buy-sell and ownership transfer support
- Coordination with your legal and financial team
Your legacy deserves a plan
The businesses that transition smoothly are the ones that planned years ahead. Waiting until you’re ready to leave limits your options and often costs more in taxes. We help you start early so the handoff protects your people, your buyer, and the value you’ve created.
- Start early, keep your options open
- Minimize the tax cost of transferring
- A clear plan for everyone involved
Questions about succession planning
Sooner than most owners think, ideally three to five years before you plan to transition. Starting early gives you more options and more time to reduce the tax impact.
Usually, yes. Knowing what your business is worth is the foundation of any transition, so a valuation is often the first step.
Yes. Family transitions have their own tax and relationship considerations, and we help structure the transfer to be fair, tax-efficient, and clear to everyone.
Through advance planning, structuring the deal, timing, and entity strategy, we work to keep more of the proceeds in your hands. The earlier we start, the more we can do.
