Succession Planning

Family Business succession can take weeks or years to plan, depending on the people and the circumstances of the case in question. By opening up the right communication process, ensuring that people are being honest with each other, succession need not present the challenges and difficulties that it so often does within family businesses. 

We believe that with the appropriate planning, communication, and inter-generational team work, succession planning presents a tremendous opportunity for a family business to become stronger as it passes from one generation to the next. We work in close collaboration with you and facilitate discussions between key family members in order to create a succession plan which will enable a smooth transition. 

Succession planning needs to be carefully tailored to every situation - whilst the principles are similar, personalities and circumstances vary greatly.
