Welcome to
Effectuation Optimum
I am Errol Whittle, founder of Effectuation Optimum. I have developed a simple and holistic approach to help you, a small business owner, position your business for a succession planning strategy most appropriate for you and your family.
Your goal has been, and should continue to be, the profitability and sustainability of your business. Our goal is to make sure you continue meeting these goals, while concurrently preparing you and your family for your eventual exit from the business — an exit that is solely on your terms.
The time to plan for succession is now. Let us sit down and discuss your succession goals. You will be amazed at how easy it is to accomplish them.
There is a crisis looming for small- and medium-sized family businesses…
Despite full awareness of the pending retirement of the business owner-manager and the imminent transfer of control, many businesses are stuck in a state of inertia — in particular, the Baby Boomer demographic. They are caught up in the overwhelming tasks of day-to-day operations and don’t believe they have the time or resources to focus on succession planning. There is a growing risk to financial security during retirement, and loss of family wealth. The following links to Financial Post articles provide a snapshot of the challenges entrepreneurs currently face — challenges that Effectuation Optimum can help you overcome.
