We know you have worked hard to start and run your own business. Your success is due, in part, to smart planning.

How The Business Equity Protector can protect you
A business buy/sell agreement is an important part of any business plan. A buy/sell agreement provides for the purchase of an owner's share in the event the owner can no longer participate in the business due to death or disability. A buy/sell agreement specifies what will happen before such an event takes place, avoiding disputes and ensuring that the departing business owner or his estate receive a fair payout for his share of the business.

However, even with a buy/sell agreement, a disability buy-out obligation can hit a small business hard. This is especially true since the obligation comes at a time when the disabled partner is no longer able to contribute time or energy to the success of the business. The Business Equity Protector is a good way to fund a disability buy-out obligation, relieving remaining business partners from all or a portion of the buy-out obligation and ensuring a secure source of funds to pay to the disabled business owner.

Is The Business Equity Protector a good choice for you?
The Business Equity Protector is designed to provide disability buy-out funding for small, closely-held businesses and professional corporations. Larger companies may be considered for coverage under certain circumstances.
