Why is business planning important? In a partnership, you need to be ready for the “what ifs.” We just want to make sure we have things planned out in case something happens.
How is Modern Woodmen helping meet your business planning needs? Landon is helping us with buy-sell agreements funded with life insurance. He’s also helping both of us with retirement accounts.
What's one thing you were surprised to learn during the planning process? What could happen if something happened to one of us and we didn’t have all of our bases covered – the potential mess it could create.
What advice do you have for other business owners? Take a few minutes and make plans. Get them set in place. It could save you from a lot of headaches down the road.
