Succession Planning – passing the baton in the business relay.

At Pelham we say “getting in to a business is one thing, successfully getting out of it is another”.  With your head down and working hard on your business, time can often run away with you, and though your business is hitting its targets and you are achieving your goals, more often than not, no thought is given to how one will reap the capital from all the effort.

Succession planning or exit strategies are commonly overlooked and timescales to achievement vastly underestimated.  For you to maximise your wealth and achieve the best possible outcome you need to plan for it.

Would you jump in your car with a full tank of fuel and just drive until it stopped with no particular destination in mind or reason for the journey?  Yet these traits are what many business owners apply to their business’s.

Without planning for retirement, gift and estate tax penalties can consume your assets, and the business could be transferred into inexperienced hands.

Our task as we see it, is to help ensure the business you worked so hard to build, remains intact and the right successor takes over what you have spent your life building.

Our succession planning services include:

  • Strategic business planning
  • Planning for family-owned or closely-held businesses
  • Exit strategies
  • Management consulting
  • Management training
  • Management systems and profit improvement
  • Employee stock ownership (ESOP) Plans
  • Estate planning
  • Tax consulting
  • Cultural compatibility analysed
  • Merger and acquisition consulting
  • Business sales
  • Buy/Sell Agreements
  • Valuation Services

This part of the business cycle is just as important as all the others, yet many starve the process of time and resources, plan too late or even worse, still leave it all to chance with no clear route to exit.  As part of our business development programme, let us help you maximise your business’s true worth and improve your wealth, if not for you, for your family.
