Why Have a Succession Plan?

Why your business should have a succession plan.

Who will take over your business if something happened to you?  Would family members fight for control?  Succession planning  maps out your intentions to enable everyone--including family members--to keep business rolling along into the next generation.
 
While you would likely employ an impartial professional to design your plan, there are a few important planning steps to implement immediately:

•     Establish a "Family Council" to discuss your future plans.

•     Approach family members about their individual desires. 

•     Establish guidelines for including or excluding in-laws and others.

•     Evaluate the business--it's current value and future potential. 

•     Develop a family compensation system--including employment
       contracts for siblings.
   
•     Establish buy/sell agreements with partners.
   
•     Revise your will to include your business succession plans.
   
•     Consider buying insurance to fund succession expenses.

Young or old, succession planning will put your business in a more secure position for the future. After all, who wants to see all of their hard-earned success reduced to turmoil?
