Are you or have you recently entered into business with a friend or family member?

Your business partners may get married, divorced, have children, move away or become temporarily or permanently disabled. Find out how to protect your future legal and financial interests without negatively impacting your business relationships. A proper business plan should always include an exit strategy. If you already one, find out if its meeting your needs. If you haven't put one in place yet, find out what factors to include in shareholder agreements.
