Succession Planning
Careful Plans Are Key To Long-Term Stability
When you’ve run your business for a long time, you look forward to handing it to someone else before your retirement or your next challenge.

What Goes Into A Succession Plan?
A succession plan is a complicated set of documents, which are very similar to an estate plan. However, unlike an estate plan, there are no set, standardized methods. Each succession plan is very personal to the company. That said, you must settle several important questions:
- Who will your successor be?
- How will they be trained?
- When will they take over?
- What will your severance be?
- Are there any contingencies?
Seeking these answers is both a personal and public question for your company. However, once you make the decision and have the answers, your company’s future is much more stable.
