Learn more about exit planning

Business succession planning is an important part of owning a business for many reasons. It's not just about sustaining the business beyond your retirement but allows for potential growth of your net worth.

With the right strategies, it can help minimize estate and income taxes, and may also help you retire at the age you want with plenty of time to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Succession planning can also:

  1. Allow you to maintain control of the decision-making process until you're ready to let it go

  2. Help provide security in the event of an unexpected death or disability with estate and will planning

Start succession planning early towards achieving sustainable success, ideally 5-10 years in advance of your planned retirement. But remember it's never too early to plan or too late to help improve your outcomes. Action is always better than inaction in this space.

A TD Wealth advisor can help you integrate your personal retirement goals and estate planning with your succession and wealth plans, and review your plan:

  1. Annually for any major life event changes before your target retirement or sale date

  2. Regularly during the business transition period to help ensure that any activity is aligned with your goals.

Your TD Wealth advisor and TD specialists from multiple disciplines can help make sense of complex tradeoffs and help you plan your exit strategy accordingly. Decisions made without a plan may have unintended consequences such as an impact on financing options, exposure to undue risk, or forfeiting tax-savings opportunities.

Weigh any complex tradeoffs, work to avoid undesirable outcomes, and maximize asset values and income with effective planning. An exit plan might help:

  1. potentially increase the value of your business

  2. potentially increase your after-tax sale proceeds

  3. create continued growth opportunities for your successors
