About this template
A business owner is three clients in one: the business that depends on them, the partners who would have to buy them out, and the family at home. This project runs the three conversations in order and keeps the accountant in the loop.
Tips from the template
- Name the project after the business.
- Get the shareholding and the last set of accounts before you meet again.
- Involve the accountant early; they will be asked anyway.
