Succession planning is something every business should undertake, whether you have two employees or several thousand. Interestingly it’s often overlooked. A succession plan details what should happen when ownership of business changes or when business-critical roles are vacated.
It can be a hard concept to think about at the moment, but the time may come when you’d like to retire or sell your business. This is understandable as your business is unique to you; it represents many years of hard work and heartfelt decisions. Therefore, it’s just as important to have a succession plan in place to preserve the value of your life’s work. A good succession plan will ensure business continuity for your valuable clients as well as safeguard profits. Contact Fortuna to begin your tailored succession plan.
