I'm working on a idea that involves estate planning services for entrepreneurs but it seems that I'm running into a roadblock in that most people who start businesses aren't interested in estate planning.

If you are starting a business, how relevant do you feel estate planning is to you? Why?

If you own a business, at what point in time do you think it becomes relevant if at all?

Thanks!
