Succession Planning

Transitioning your business to family members can mean the difference between being financially sound for life or potentially losing the value of many years of hard work. More than 70 per cent of family-owned businesses do not survive the transition from founder to second generation as they fall prey to either tax consequences or family discord.

Developing and implementing a succession plan is essential to the long term success of the business you’ve worked so hard to grow. At some point in time you are going to need to exit the business, through retirement or sale. Succession planning covers the key steps to prepare the business for that moment. In the event of selling the business to a third party, we can manage the process on your behalf.  

Most people want to buy a business that works, not businesses that are run by people that work and work and work. Succession planning then is ongoing, an ever improving process and is just as much about working ON your business as planning the future. According to Michael Gerber, the secret is NOT to work in the business, it’s to work ON it so that you don’t have to work IN it. Sounds simple but most business owners are on a treadmill going nowhere.
