20/20 Money Episode #238 – Partnerships and the importance of a good buy/sell agreement with Ali Oromchian

May 29, 2023

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Ali Oromchian. Ali joins me back on the show to talk about a not-too-common but very important part of any partnership: the terms and conditions of the buy/sell agreement that essentially is a part of every partnership. The extent to which the terms of the buy/sell are explicitly documented, however, can be wide-ranging.

In this conversation, Ali and I define a buy/sell, how they work, some of the key elements of a buy sell, who needs one, and valuation ideas for quantifying the value of the practice. We also talk about pros and cons of a 51/49 partnership agreement, different triggering events of a buy/sell, and how one should protect themselves against financial decisions of their partner should financial insolvency become an issue.
