    Planning for the Unplanned
    Events such as death, disability, or retirement of a business owner don't have to mean the end of a successful business. Succession planning can provide for an orderly transition of ownership and business management during lifetime or at death. There are various options for structing and funding buy-sell agreements, key employee needs, and other executive benefits programs.

    Transaction of a Lifetime
    Creating and growing a successful business is seldom just about money, nor is the decision to exit the business. Whether that exit is through IPO, merger with another company, private sale, or succession within the family, the process is intense, the details are complex, and the decisions are often an unexpected combination of personal and financial needs. Morgan Stanley has been helping business owners like you bring clarity and confidence to what is typically a once-in-a-lifetime event.
