My name is Jodi Laking and I am Your Business Executor.
My personal journey and experience after losing my dad in 2024 has shown me the necessity for a centralized space where individual and business-related services, educational resources and tools are available to support and guide people like my mom, my brother and myself.
Because death, illness, accidents, disease, injuries, and age happen – whether we are planned for them or not.
I have been a business consultant for over 10 years and now want to help business owners and their families plan and prepare for their future and the future of their business. I want to …
Work with business owners to 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 themselves and their next-of-kin to easily access.
Meet with business owners and their spouse, business partner, children, and other next of kin to guide them through the processes their next of kin will follow to access their business financials, assets and policies after they are gone or incapacitated.
Provide a directory of tools and resources for individuals and business owners to learn about wills, probate, estate planning, legacy planning, and succession planning.
Offer a customized, guided planning tool – The Dahlias Planner – to help business owners document their plans, wishes, and operational business details in case of a catastrophic event.
My goal is to offer support to business owners, spouses, families and other survivors to help reduce stress and overwhelm during a 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.
I don’t want your story to be a part of a $2 trillion unplanned mistake.
Business Consulting & Succession Planning
Our consultants work with business owners at any stage and structure including sole proprietors, partnerships, incorporated businesses, etc. to understand and plan what they want for the future of their business.
We answer questions regarding planning, preparedness and growth options 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
YBE helps to educate business owners to understand the rights of their spouse, family, business partner(s), clients, vendors, etc. if a catastrophic event happens or the business owner is incapacitated.
It’s crucial for succession and estate planning that spouses, business partners, 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
