the fundamentals of succession and estate planning for business owners
Association of Washington Business, Olympia
July 7
Kristofer Gray, CFP® and Paul Hajek will examine many of the common challenges affecting business
owners on the subject of succession and estate planning for business owners. We will review the landscape
of options and describe how to develop a thoughtful process to address all issues surrounding the most
important phase of your business life — the phase where you cannot afford to make any mistakes. Our
process will maximize the value of the business, minimize the tax burden of the transition, and help you
create the legacy you desire.
The goal of succession planning is to help you identify, plan for, and achieve your personal, business, and
financial goals while transitioning out of your business. For most people, exiting their business is a once
in a lifetime event. It can be exciting and rewarding, but it can also be scary, frustrating, and even painful.
By using a well-structured succession planning process, you can attain your goals and maximize the
opportunity for you and your family.
