The Value of A Business Always Matters - Ways to Keep It & Increase it!

Frank Hoffman and Rodney Retzner will discuss mechanisms available for transfer of interest in a closely held business to multiple generations with the least amount of impact from transfer taxes. Included in the presentation will be a discussion of the various techniques available to owners of closely held business for such transitions, as well as methods available to freeze or otherwise reduce the value of businesses for transfer tax purposes. Once the discussion on Setting the Stage and Value of Business is completed, we will then discuss the potential impact of tax reforms that may affect closely held businesses in 2016, as well as value add local, state, and federal economic development incentives for closely held business.
