Safeguard Your Business Partnership with a Buy-Sell Agreement

Starting or running a business with partners? One of the most important legal tools you can put in place is a buy-sell agreement. At Howell Law, serving clients across North Carolina and Georgia, we help business owners protect their investments and plan for the future through strategic contract drafting.

What Is a Buy-Sell Agreement?
A buy-sell agreement is a legally binding contract that governs what happens if a business partner retires, dies, becomes disabled, or decides to leave. It helps avoid disputes and provides a clear plan for business continuity.

Why It Matters:

  • Prevents legal conflicts between owners and heirs

  • Establishes fair market value for ownership shares

  • Ensures smooth ownership transitions

  • Can be funded through life insurance for liquidity

Our Services Include:

  • Drafting and reviewing buy-sell agreements

  • Explaining cross-purchase vs. entity-purchase structures

  • Coordinating with business succession plans

  • Integrating agreements with estate planning tools

Conclusion:
Don't leave your business future to chance. Howell Law provides tailored buy-sell agreements that support growth and protect your legacy.
