Succession: Selling a business

Tailored banking solutions and support for a business transition.

Situation:

The owner of a privately held business approached Webster Private Bank to discuss the potential sale of his business. He had only recently begun contemplating a sale and did not know how to begin the process.

Outcome:

In line with the client’s goals for the exit of his business, analyses and projections were prepared, comparing an internal sale to employees vs. an external sale to a third party which illustrated the impact of the sale, including gift and estate planning strategies and a cash flow analysis to determine the potential after tax proceeds available for the client’s retirement.

The client was assisted in assembling a team of third-party professionals (investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, valuation experts, etc.,) knowledgeable in such transactions and ultimately helped to coordinate the team supporting the sale of the client’s business.

The client has gained confidence and clarity in pursuing the sale of his business and Webster will guide client as they entertain offers to sell the business, collect the proceeds upon the sale and manages the wealth created from the sale.

Tailored credit: A line of credit for a private equity opportunity

Preserving liquidity while expanding investment capacity

Situation:

The President of a large worldwide insurance brokerage was looking for a line of credit to personally invest in private equity opportunities. He wanted to use this line instead of his personal liquidity.

Outcome:

An innovative solution was proposed: using shares the client currently owned in privately held companies to secure a $15MM Line of Credit. Additionally, the client established a $4MM Investment Management Account. Finally, the Private Bank service model influenced three other members of the company’s executive team to establish relationships with Webster Private Bank. Those relationships include personal loans, deposits, and commercial real estate loans.

Financial planning: Evaluating retirement options

Aligning executive benefits with retirement goals

Situation:

A C-suite executive was considering early retirement but was uncertain as to the impact on her executive benefits and whether she had accumulated sufficient funds for a secure retirement.

Outcome:

In consultation with the executive’s Corporate Counsel and Director of Human Resources, all corporate benefits were analyzed and summarized under two scenarios – early retirement and regular retirement. This allowed for the “cost” of retirement to be quantified prior to age 65. This data was incorporated into cash flow models – the outcome of which showed the goal of early retirement was comfortably achievable. With this peace of mind, additional analysis was provided along with guidance on several other critical topics to the client including estate planning, gifting to family members and charitable giving.
