BUY-SELL AGREEMENTS | David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP | Reston Virginia

If you are in partnership with a non-family member or other third party business partners, it is essential that you have a properly drafted Partnership Agreement setting out all the essential terms of the way you operate your business and what will happen if certain things occur. The type of agreement that you have with your business partners will depend upon the structure that you use to operate your business within.

shareholder agreement vs buy sell agreement

For example, if you have a company structure with different shareholders, you will need to enter into a Shareholders Agreement. If you operate your business through a Unit Trust, you will need to enter into a Unit Holders Agreement. Whatever the case, all business partners need to enter into a form of partnership agreement, just in case there are disputes or someone wishes to leave the business unexpectedly.

There also needs to be provision for what occurs if one or more of the parties dies or becomes totally and permanently disabled or loses their capacity. Sometimes this, combined with the loss of the business partner, can ruin the business and make it impossible for it to continue.
