Even the best plans must be adaptable when the unexpected happens. A sudden shareholder exit, especially without clear valuation or funding mechanisms, can destabilize operations, leadership, and morale. Businesses evolve, and your buyout terms should evolve with them. Regular third-party valuations can help ensure fairness and avoid surprises, especially during emotionally charged transitions.

Ultimately, the goal is not just to react to shareholder changes, it is to design a framework that gives you options. Too many businesses run smoothly only because key people are holding them together behind the scenes. But if one person is wearing too many hats, continuity becomes a risk

“One thing many owners don’t realize is that putting structure in place can actually increase the value of the business,” said Horrigan. “When there’s clear documentation, defined roles, and the business isn’t overly dependent on any one person, it signals to buyers or the next generation that the business is stable, transferable, and professionally run.”

Having the right structure in place is not just about managing risk. It is a signal to the market, and to your internal team, that your business is built to last.
