Importance of business succession planning
Business succession planning helps to ensure that a smooth transition can occur when you’re ready to retire or sell your business. We believe succession planning should include the long-term goal of retirement, but should also focus on contingency planning to protect against unexpected events. We can assist you in developing a succession planning strategy that seeks to help:
- Time your exit to maximize value (eliminating the risk of a fire sale)
- Ensure continuity of service for your clients or customers
- Provide for an efficient transfer of business to a successor or buyer of your choosing
- Retire on your schedule
- Remove emotional decision-making
- Provide career-path opportunities to existing associates and/or elevate key employees to owners
- Coordinate with your personal estate plan to minimize estate taxes
- Plan for the unexpected
We can help point out any gaps in important insurance coverages, and areas that may benefit from more cost-effective planning strategies.
