Solving a Potentially Big Problem

I've seen partnerships start up, full of promise and mutual love. I've seen very few last very long. And the breaking up of the partnership has usually been pretty messy. It's a lot like a divorce, where a pre-nuptial would have saved everybody a lot of pain. This book first sets the stage by describing what can happen. What happens when one of the partners wants to quie, goes through a messy divorce (he's a good partner, but now you're partner with his ex!), or if he is simply disabled (alcohol or Alzheimer's). The answer, of course, is advance planning. Business Buyout Agreements does a lot of this planning for you. It describes the situation, what should be included, all the things that you need to think about. In fact, it describes more situations than you are ever likely to think about in advance. The book includes a CD-ROM which has a worksheet and a buyout agreement that has been successfully used by dozens if not hundreds of companies.
