Business Owner Bootcamp Episode 12: Buy-Sell Agreements - The Plan Your Business Can’t Skip

In this episode of Wealthspire’s Business Owner Bootcamp, Michael Delgass is joined by Ben Kronish, of Financial Architects Partners for a practical conversation on buy-sell agreements, why closely held businesses need them, and what can go wrong when there’s no plan (or no funding) in place. They unpack the real-world fallout of “figure it out later,” including disrupted operations, cash-flow strain, and the risk of ending up with unintended partners or disputes. 

They also cover the essentials of how buy-sells work: key triggering events (death, disability, retirement, divorce), cross-purchase vs. redemption structures, and how insurance is commonly used to fund the agreement. Tune in to hear more of their conversation.
