Family-owned businesses faced with the estate tax are often forced to cut back on wages, benefits, investments, and employees.

When faced with the estate tax, families sometimes must sell the entire business or part of it to cover the bill. If the owner of the family-owned business you work for passes, you risk losing wages, opportunities for advancement, or worse—your job.

Don’t let the estate tax ruin career opportunities you have worked very hard for.

If family-owned businesses have to sell to major corporations, former employees could be retained, but their career trajectories will likely be cut short.
