Business Succession Planning

Succession planning is a multidisciplinary process, one that presents business owners with a comprehensive and strategic approach to the orderly transition of the management and ownership of their companies.

If you are a family-owned business, planning for the eventual transfer of ownership may be even more critical. The personal issues you face, compounding other day-to-day business concerns, run the gamut: from planning for estate taxes to maintaining interpersonal relationships with family members. Yet, despite solid professionalism and enviable profits, ultimately, many closely-held businesses fail to complete the transition to the next generation. Unless you, as the business owner, are prepared to let the business be sold or liquidated, a long-term program to identify and groom the future company executives must be undertaken.

During the succession planning process, many times an independent valuation of the business is necessary. As an affiliate of bmc, we can refer you to our business valuation specialists, who are well-versed and experienced in providing business valuation services.
