Succession Planning: A Case Study on the Added Value of Starting Your Exit Plan Now

Description

Succession planning is an important yet often deferred component of a business’ strategic plan. Many business owners mistakenly associate succession planning with imminent retirement or immediate sale of the business.  While this is often the case, it shouldn’t be. The reality is starting the succession planning process early can provide owners significant advantages that expand options, flexibility and likely increase value for the future.
