Description

The Buy-Sell Agreement is a vital document for any general partnership, particularly in managing the interests of partners in the event of a sale or death. Key features include provisions for the automatic purchase of a partner's interest by the partnership or other partners, clearly outlining how interests should be valued and the terms of payment. The document emphasizes the importance of written notice should a partner wish to withdraw or sell their interest, providing options for the partnership to repurchase the interest at a fair market value. Each partner's share is distinctly noted, ensuring clarity in ownership percentages. The agreement establishes a framework for insurance policies on partners' lives, ensuring funds are readily available upon a partner's death to facilitate smooth transitions and prevent disputes. Target users, including attorneys, partners, and legal assistants, will find the guidelines within this agreement useful for planning and executing partnership changes, securing financial arrangements, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations. Furthermore, by clearly delineating roles and responsibilities, it helps mitigate conflicts after significant life events affecting partnership dynamics. The template allows for editing, making it adaptable for specific partnership needs.

FAQ

The Partnership Buyout Agreement Your path to an ownership sale will be simpler if you created a clear and thorough partnership buyout agreement when you started your company. The agreement should discuss what might lead to one of the partners wanting to sell her share and state the terms and timing that would apply.

Essentially, partners share in the profits and the debts of the daily workings of the business. Because of that, when one partner wants to sell, they cannot sell the entire business. They can only sell their assets – i.e., their share of the partnership.

If a partner or group of partners disposes of their partnership interests they can not defer their income tax liabilities by completing a 1031 Exchange because interests in a partnership are personal property interests and can not be exchanged for an interest in real property.

This means the ownership interest a partner has in a partnership is treated as a separate asset that can be purchased and sold.

The best way to sell your limited partnership interest may lie in finding an experienced broker or advisor who can help you to identify potential buyers and guide you through any negotiations that may arise.

A sale of a partnership interest occurs when one partner sells their ownership interest to another person or entity. The partnership is generally not involved in the transaction. However, the buyer and seller will notify the partnership of the transaction.

Buy Sell Agreement Between Partners of a Partnership

BUY-SELL AGREEMENTS

Introduction

A buy-sell (business purchase) agreement is an agreement between the owners of the business for purchase of each others interest in the business. The buy-sell can be triggered in the event of the owner's death, disability, retirement, withdrawal from the business or other events.

Reasons For The Agreement

Establish the value of the business for federal and state death tax purposes.

Unwilling to continue the business with the family of a deceased co-owner.

Prevent all or part of the business from falling into the hands of "outsiders."

The Agreement Basics

The agreement provides for the purchase price, terms and funding arrangements. The agreement obligates the retiring or disabled owner or owner's estate to sell the business to the business itself, or to the surviving owner(s), or maybe an option of either.

Types Of Agreements

The Buy-Sell agreements can take several forms, such as:

An agreement between the business and the individual owners (stock redemption agreement or stock retirement plan).

An agreement between the owners (a cross purchase or "criss-cross" agreement).

An agreement between the owners and key person, family member or outside individual (a "third party" business buy-out agreement).

A combination of the foregoing.

Basically, these are either a Cross Purchase Plan or Entity Purchase Plan.

Cross Purchase Agreement

Each partner agrees with each of the other partners to purchase his or her share of the business at the time of death. The Partners may take out a life insurance policy on the life of the other(s) to fund the obligation. At the time of the first death, the surviving partner(s) collects the insurance proceeds. The survivor then uses the insurance proceeds to buy the business share from the deceased's family. This type agreement can be used with two or more partners.

Entity Purchase Plan

Each partner agrees that upon death his or her share of the business will be sold back to the business. The business may buy life insurance policies on each of the partners to fund the obligation. At the death of a partner, the business collects the insurance proceeds and buys the business interest from the deceased partner's heirs.

Transfer Restrictions

The agreements commit the owners not to sell ownership in the business prior to death, without first offering it to the persons named in the agreement. This is called a right of first option or refusal.

Life Insurance to Fund the Agreement

Whole life insurance has generally been used to fund a buy-sell agreement.

The life insurance industry also offers "Business Value Life Insurance" with a death benefit determined by the value of the business rather than the terms of the policy. The death benefit can grow as the value of the business grows. Premiums may also be higher as the death benefit increases.

Purchase Price

The purchase price can be based on an appraisal, set predetermined price, book value, or a formula of assets and earnings.

Payment Terms

Agreements may provide that the price will be paid in cash, in installments, or other means. You may also select a combination of cash and installments. Of course, if the insurance proceeds are sufficient to pay the price in cash many agreements provide that the purchase is to be paid in full in cash from the insurance proceeds.
