If you have multiple shareholders in your practice, you need a buy & sell agreement to make sure surviving shareholders and surviving family members of a deceased or disabled shareholder are properly cared for. These agreements require regular review to stay consistent with the practice’s value. Unfortunately, in many cases, shareholders and family members find themselves in unnecessary litigation because agreements are outdated.
Having multiple shareholders in a company creates the need for a buy & sell agreement to see that surviving shareholders and surviving family members of a deceased or disabled shareholder are properly taken care of.

Loss of a key shareholder or employee can have a devastating impact on the momentum of your practice. Family members could find themselves owning a business without a senior physician and/or key management person, revenues can drop and key employees could launch competing practices.
You have a buy & sell agreement. You have successors who will run the practice. You have plans for family members to be provided for in the event of your death. Did you know estate taxes still can bankrupt your practice? Your practice could be destroyed if it is forced into a total or partial liquidation to come up with the cash necessary to satisfy the IRS for estate taxes.

Most physicians in business today will not be able to retire on the funds they have in qualified retirement plans. In fact, recent studies indicate that your top management team might only have 30% of their pre-retirement income available from Social Security and the typical 401(k) plan.
Many businesses find themselves in conflict due to the unique makeup of their shareholders. In situations where conflict is occurring, it can be very important to bring in an independent third party to help all members of a practice work through the problems and arrive at solutions in the best interests of the practice.
When should I sell my practice and retire? If you are thinking about selling, you also might be asking yourself other questions. Who should I sell to? When should I sell? Should I retire or move into another business? How will I end up financially when it is all done? Physician Advisors understands how important it is to find the right answers to these questions.
