Get your business organized!
Take control of your business assets!
Plan for your future, today!
Did you know that over 50% of Canadian business owners do not have a will or succession plan in place, leaving over $2 trillion in business assets at stake?
Hello! My name is Jodi Laking and I am Your Business Executor.
I have been a business consultant for over 10 years and 2025 marks the launch of – Your Business Executor – which focuses on helping business owners and their families plan and prepare for their future and the future of their business.
My goal is to help business owners get organized today AND offer support to business owners, spouses, and families to help reduce stress and overwhelm during a future chaotic and catastrophic time.
I want to ensure that the assets you have worked hard to build and acquire be accounted for and secured by your next of kin.
What Happens When I’m Gone - Business Preparedness Series!
Registration is OPEN
Have you ever wondered what would happen to your business if something happened to you?
Has your spouse or children ever asked you: ‘what’s the plan if you die’?
Hello, my name is Jodi and I have worked with sole proprietors and entrepreneurs for over 20 years to help them start and grow businesses.
But over the last few years, I’ve noticed that there was a key piece missing in our planning – what happens to all the income and assets you worked so hard to get and grow if something happens to you …
So in 2025, I launched Your Business Executor to work with business owners to help them organize and clearly document their accounts, investments, partnerships and affiliations, insurance policies, benefits plans, and other operational and administrative policies in one central place for their next-of-kin to easily access and follow.
Why?
Because I want to ensure that the assets you have worked hard to build and acquire be accounted for and secured by your next of kin.
Interested in getting prepared and organized?
I’m hosting another 4-week Business Preparedness series where I connect with entrepreneurs who want assistance to plan and organize their business details for their spouse or next-of-kin in the case of an unfortunate event.
We will be working together through a guided planner where we bring all your business information, contact details, operations, accounts, etc. together in one, centralized place.

I know thinking about a future where you aren’t here to care for and protect your family is awkward and uncomfortable.
But that’s why I’m doing this and that’s why you need to do this too!
Because death, illness, accidents, disease, injuries, and age happen – whether we are planned for them or not.
Let’s get planning!
What Does ‘Your Business Executor’ Offer?
Your Business Executor focuses on helping business owners and their families plan and prepare for their future and the future of their business.
Business Consulting &
Succession Planning
We work with business owners to understand and plan what they want for the future of their business.
We answer questions related to business operations and future planning while entrepreneurs are still operating their business, when they are ready to retire, and if an event happens that takes them away from their business.
Family & Executor Planning
It’s crucial for succession and estate planning that your spouse, business partner, children, and other next of kin be part of the conversation.
We work with the business owner and their family/executor to guide them through the processes their next of kin will follow to access their business accounts, documents, financials, assets and policies.
Document and Asset Management
We collaborate with business owners to help them get organized by bringing all their business documents, assets and account details together into one centralized location for easy access today and in the future.
We help organize business account details, investments, partnerships and affiliations, insurance policies, benefits plans, and other operational and administrative policies for easy access.
