Don’t Make these Costly Mistakes:
“My spouse isn’t involved in the business, so they have no claim to it”
In BC, business value growth during marriage is often considered family property, even if your spouse never stepped foot in your office. Your business could be valued and divided like any other asset. Courts don’t care who worked late nights or took the risks – they care about what happened during the marriage. Without a prenup, you could be forced to sell or give up half your company to pay your ex-spouse.
“Business prenups are too complicated and expensive for a small company”
The cost of a business prenup is a fraction of what you’ll pay in legal fees, business valuations, and potential settlement costs during a messy divorce. Small businesses are often the most vulnerable because they lack the resources to survive lengthy legal battles. A straightforward prenup protecting your business is much simpler and cheaper than unwinding a marriage that threatens your livelihood and your employees’ jobs.
“We can just get a simple template online – why pay for a lawyer?”
Even the most loving, honest spouse may feel differently about “fair” division after years of resentment or if the marriage ends badly. People change, circumstances change, and emotions run high during divorce. Your spouse might have a new lawyer telling them they’re entitled to half of everything. A prenup isn’t about trust – it’s about protecting both of you from making emotional financial decisions when you’re hurt and angry.
