    • Will I receive the full value of my business when I exit?
    • Do I have a clear exit strategy to pass the baton gracefully?
    • What happens if my business partner passes away — will I have to work with their family members who may not share the same vision?
    • Could creditors go after my personal assets because I stood as a guarantor?
