What is Succession Planning?
Succession planning is the process of arranging for the management and disposal of your estate both during your lifetime and after your death. It guarantees that your assets are allocated in accordance with your preferences, reduces taxes, and leaves precise instructions for your loved ones, minimising uncertainty and worry during a difficult time.
When business assets are involved the process involves developing a written plan for how the next generation will take over a family business from the current leaders. The plan can help ensure the business’s viability and achieve a long-term legacy. It can also provide certainty for everyone involved in the business, including family members, employees, customers, and stakeholders.
