What happens to a private business in a divorce?

On Behalf of Nelson Law Office | May 5, 2021 | Division of Assets |

If you’re going through a divorce in Minnesota, there could be a lot at stake. Considering that, one of the most common things of importance in a divorce is the future of a business. Fortunately, you have several options regarding the division or sale of your private business in a divorce. Here are three common ways to divide a private company between you and your ex-spouse.

Selling your company

Sometimes, the best way to divide a private company is to sell it and split the profits with your ex-partner. Before you sell your business, it’s important to make sure that you’re making an economically sound decision. If not, you and your ex-partner could be waiting a while for this company to sell. It’s also a good idea to get a valuation of your company before you place it on the market. This can help avoid any chance of getting ripped off.

Co-owning the business

Another way to handle the division of a private business is by co-owning it with your ex-spouse. A major factor in determining whether or not this is a good idea comes down to how well you and your ex-spouse get along. If you and your ex-spouse remain on good terms and it’s possible to maintain a professional relationship, you may decide to divorce but continue as business partners.

Buying out your ex-spouse

One of the most popular ways to handle a private business during a divorce is to buy out your ex-spouse. After a buyout, you can continue to run your business as you normally would. Before choosing this option, it’s imperative to ensure there’s enough cash or assets to complete a buyout.

To summarize, you have several options to consider when dividing a business during a divorce. If you’re unsure which of the previously mentioned options to choose, it might be time to contact a divorce lawyer. Hiring a divorce lawyer can help ensure that your company’s future is in good hands.
