Imagine the following scenario for a moment. You and your partner have opened a business and are feeling extremely confident about your current success. Your primary competition across the street cannot keep up after one of their co-owners passes away, eventually closing down. Their entire customer base eventually comes your way, and business has never been better. This might be a positive scenario strictly as far as your business is concerned, but a wise businessman or woman should be thinking one thing at a time like this—what if our positions were reversed? What if one of our business leaders should pass away, how will the other find the capital to keep the business afloat?
