Seminar offers shareholder advice to local business owners

Two well-established Lancashire firms are coming together to offer a breakfast seminar for businesspeople on the importance of planning for the future through a shareholders' agreement.

The seminar, which takes place at Burnley Football Club between 7.30am and 9am, will cover why shareholder agreements are important and how to get them right, plus the most suitable insurance protection for shareholders.

The breakfast seminar will highlight a number of business situations that can result in disputes among shareholders, for example management disagreements, partners not pulling their weight and even death.

Laurence O'Connor, managing director of Burnley-based Financial Affairs, said: "I'm keen to use the seminar to impart advice to business owners to help them protect themselves against the risks that may affect their business, including the death of a shareholder. I will give them a snapshot of the various protection products that are available so that any cover that sits behind an agreement is fit for purpose, tax efficient and covers the widest possible criteria for the premiums paid."

Following the two presentations, delegates will have the opportunity to question Stephen and Laurence. The free seminar in the Dr Iven Suite at Burnley Football Club on Wednesday 16 November also includes breakfast and a networking opportunity.
