Succession planning:
preparing for new leaderships

The importance of succession planning

If you’re a business owner, at some point you’ll want to retire. Having a succession plan ensures the smooth transition of ownership for business continuation, which affects your employees, clients and stakeholders. A strong succession plan provides a solid platform for sustainable business growth and development after you retire.

Succession planning is vital for families who want to pass on the business to the next generation. The transition often comes with additional challenges, such as avoiding conflict by ensuring fair treatment for all family members concerned.

Establish what your business is worth and when you’d like to retire.

Consider how you want to pass on your business to your successors.

Identify potential successors and opportunities to support them through the process.
