Prenups for Business Owners in Texas
How founders, partners, professionals, and family-business owners can think about business interests before marriage.
Identify the business interest
Document ownership, entity structure, capital accounts, existing agreements, debt, and any restrictions on transfer or valuation.
Address future growth
A prenup can address how appreciation, distributions, retained earnings, reinvestment, and compensation will be treated, subject to applicable state law.
Consider third parties
Operating agreements, shareholder agreements, partners, investors, lenders, and family members may create obligations or restrictions that should be coordinated with the prenup.
Separate ownership from household economics
Protecting a business interest does not necessarily answer how salary, distributions, household contributions, or support will be handled. Those issues should be addressed deliberately.
