For most business owners, especially entrepreneurs who have founded their business, the word succession is inextricably linked with retirement. For that reason there are many myths around succession planning – including the most prominent “I’m not ready to retire.” However, it turns out that no matter what stage of business you are at, it’s never too early to think about succession planning
Drafting a succession plan now can help your business stand the test of time. As a business owner, you’ve invested so much into making your business successful – hard work, time, money, energy. It’s truly hard to imagine your business without you. But chances are there will come a day when someone else will take the reins. And a seamless succession plan, one carefully and thoughtfully devised well in advance, is essential to making sure your business enjoys continued success for generations to come.
