One of the most challenging aspects for business owners is deciding how the business will be passed on to a new generation of owners. Each situation presents its own set of unique options and decisions to be made to provide a roadmap for a successful transition of the business. Proactive planning will help create the optimal transition for the exiting owner and the new generation.
The transition of a company is an infrequent event with results that will permanently affect the lives of those involved.

While the experience for each owner is different, there is a planning process that is generally followed. It starts with defining goals, expectations and outcomes and transitions to a series of steps to ensure the desired outcome is reached.
