Creating a Succession Plan is usually at the bottom of a business owners list, unless the plan is due to be actioned in the imminent future.

We recommend that this is not the case and that you start planning now even if you don’t plan on exiting the business for many years to come.

The earlier you start working on your succession plan to greater the value of your business is likely to be when it is time for you to either sell it or pass it down to the next generation. The process will be more management and the transition smooth for all the parties involved.

There are two types of succession plan options:

1. Internal: sell to management or pass onto the next generation.
2. External: sell to an external party coming into the business.
