Valuation and Succession Planning

There’s a perfect storm approaching for exiting business owners according to one expert. Three major forces are at work and together they are impacting the owner’s situation exponentially:

• Many businesses for sale. There will be lots of competition for the retiring business owners and all will drive prices down.
• There are not nearly enough funds to satisfy all the sellers looking to transact
• The economy goes in cycles and there is only a short amount of time left for sell

How will you continue your business success?

• How will you retain, reward & attract key talent?
• How will you ensure business continuity?
• Do you have a “Buy-Sell” agreement in place?
• How will you protect your business from the loss of a valuable employee?
• Do you have an “estate plan” in place and funded?
• Have you identified a successor?

The Answer: Succession planning – from day one.
