What are the four types of buy-sell agreements?

There are four main types of buy-sell agreements. A redemption or entity purchase, a cross-purchase arrangement, a one-way buy-sell or a wait-and-see buy-sell.

What is the trigger point in a buy-sell agreement?

Trigger events will determine when your buy-sell agreement will come into play. Common circumstances include the death, disability, retirement or voluntary departure of a partner, but may extend to additional scenarios, such as divorce or individual bankruptcy.

What are the disadvantages of a buy-sell agreement?

One drawback is the owners may not have the discipline to meet periodically as determined in the buy-sell agreement. In addition, the owners may not agree on a fixed price due to various motivations by each owner.

Is a buy-sell agreement legally binding?

A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding contract that outlines what happens to an owners share of the business when specific events occur. These events are typically called trigger events and may include death, disability, retirement, bankruptcy, or a decision to sell ones shares.

How does a buy-sell agreement work?

The buy-sell agreement prevents an owner from selling their interests to an outsider without the consent of the other owners. It also provides an orderly and equitable method of determining the value of each owners interest in the business.

What is the main problem with using a fixed price in a buy-sell agreement?

Fixed price agreements tend to result in a fairly high percentage of problems because the agreed-upon price is typically not updated regularly, if at all. Also, it is common that there is very little analysis behind the agreed-upon price.

What is a buy-sell agreement in life insurance?

When using life insurance with a buy-sell agreement, either the company or the individual co-owners buy life insurance policies on the lives of each co-owner (but not on themselves). If you were to die, the policyowners (the company or co-owners) receive the death benefits from the policies on your life.
