Inevitably, every business will need to either undergo a change of ownership, or face the prospect of closing down. To ensure the long-term success of your business, it is vital to establish a succession plan and to establish it as soon as possible. Having a succession plan in place not only ensures maximum value to the current owners, but can also demonstrate business stability to investors, banks, and employees, as well as both existing and potential clients.

A well-executed succession plan will provide security and minimise stress for all involved. Succession planning helps maximise the business value and ensures the company is prepared for all possible outcomes.

Undergoing the succession transition of your business can be a highly stressful process. With over a decade of experience between our accountants, we have gained the knowledge and skill set required to ensure the complexity of a succession plan is carried out effortlessly.

What is the succession process?

The first step in creating a succession plan is to understand business structure. This includes the critical roles of people and organisations in the business as well as who has control and what will need to change.

Understanding includes understanding the end game, what are the personal and business goals.

We identify and try to mitigate risk in the succession planning process. Unprepared successors, financial incapacity, bankruptcy or divorce can each be a hazard for successful succession planning.

A good succession planning strategy minimises or identifies tax issues and ensures legal obligations or implications are met. Succession plans need clear goals and processes to ensure the plan is fulfilled. Deadlines should be closely monitored on an ongoing basis.

When a trigger event occurs, the strategy is implemented then transitioning the business or assets to the successor(s) begins. Peace of mind succession planning is a non-negotiable.
