Deferred Annuity: A Strategic Tool for Business Sellers Planning Life After Exit
Deferred annuity structures can play a powerful role in helping business owners transform a successful exit into long term financial stability.
Selling a business is not only a transaction. It is a transition from operating income to investment income.
For many founders, the most important question is not just “How much will I sell for?” but also “How do I turn that liquidity event into reliable long term income?”
This is where the concept of a deferred annuity becomes relevant.
A well structured deferred annuity can transform a portion of your sale proceeds into predictable future income while improving tax timing and reducing the pressure of managing a large lump sum immediately after closing.
For business owners preparing for an exit, understanding how a deferred annuity works can open the door to smarter wealth planning and more flexible deal structures.
