Business Succession

What is business succession planning?
A business succession plan outlines what will happen and who will take over your business when you leave, whether by choice or by circumstance. The aim is to provide the business with a smooth transition so that disruption is minimised.
Process of succession planning

Each business is different of course, but you will likely need to consider:

Goals and objectives of all parties

Do you require an ongoing income from the business?
Will you have any future involvement in the company?
Who is interested in taking over?
What impact will there be on all members of your family?

Identify your potential successors

Objectively assess their capability, needs, commitment, skills and experience

Consider all the angles

Minimising Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty and Income Tax for you and your family and remaining partners
Retirement income planning
Financial implications of business transfer

Contingency planning

What will happen in the case of catastrophic injury or death?

Corporate structure issues

Define roles and responsibilities of current family members and employees

Business valuation

Plan to increase the value of the business particularly if it is to be sold

Exit strategy

What are the training or mentoring needs of your successor?
How will you exit and by when?
