Summary

To ensure a smooth transition following the departure of a partner, it's important that business owners in LLCs, corporations and partnerships write a buy-sell agreement at the start of their relationship. This book carefully explains each step of the process, providing all the tax and legal information an owner needs to draft a buy-sell agreement. The only book of its kind to address the lay reader, it includes an interactive, fill-in-the-blank agreement on CDROM.
