FAQ

For example, three doctors could form a joint practice, and the doctors can agree to a buyout agreement where all remaining doctors can buy a doctor's ownership for $1,000,000 upon retirement.

The buyout agreement should include the terms of departure, the payment structure, and the succession plan. It should also contain non-compete and non-disclosure clauses, as well as potential risks and penalties.

For instance, a commercial lease buyout clause example might say something such as, “Lessee will have the right after the first (1st) lease year to buyout the Lease upon Ninety (90) days written notice and payment of One-Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to Lessor.

A Partnership Buyout Agreement may be needed in circumstances like those leading to partnership dissolution; whether it be death of a partner, voluntary departure, retirement, or disability, the remaining partner(s) may be able to buy out the departing partner through a partnership buyout agreement.

Partnership Buyout Formula The formula takes the appraised value of the business and multiplies that number by the percentage of ownership your partner has in the company. Ex: Partner owns 45%, and the company is appraised at $1 million. That would look like: 1,000,000 x . 45 = 450,000.

What Is a Buyout Agreement? Also known as a buy-sell agreement, a buyout agreement is a contract between business partners that identifies what will happen following the departure of one of the owners.

If you want to get out of your business partnership, you will have to sell your shares to your partner. However, if you want to continue running the business and want your partner out of the picture, that means you will have to buy their shares.

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.
