This will likely entail the preparation and communication of a formal statement of the future intended direction and ownership of the business to family members and staff.
Partnering with you, we will promote regular open dialogues with potential successors. To ensure timely awareness of any changes in their desires. As this may allow for the timely pursuit of other alternatives, should the designated successor no longer wish to lead the business.
Provisions for gradual increased time away from the business by you during the transition period, to facilitate a deliberate effort to seek out a path to continue enriching your life through outside interests. To ensure you experience no “sellers’ remorse” later in life.
