Business owners, professional practices and family groups are sometimes so busy running the business that the future ‘turns up unexpectedly’.

Too often the conversation about the future of the business, practice, group, owner, shareholder, partner or founder goes unsaid and, ulimately, can give rise to resentment or produce surprises.

There is always ‘more to it’ than expected and usualy it takes more time than anticipated.  Time to hear what the stakeholders have to say, to ensure there is leadership succession in place, to ensure there is good capital management in place and to leave the business stronger once the succession plan is implemented.

The business was founded on great ideas.  pSE Advisory can help you keep them coming.

Why should you have a succession plan in place?

At pSE Advisory, we advocate that the future should be made more certain earlier than you think.  A succession plan will:

1. Provide certainty to all stakeholders.
2. Ensure that expectations are tabled and addressed.
3. Enable the right team to be in place and ready.
4. Provide time to have sufficient capital in place for any intended payouts.
5. Enable discussions around price, payments and other expectations to take place without either side feeling rushed.
6. Enable the team to be brought into the conversation, planning undertaken and surpises avoided.
7. Ensures that the business issues are dealt with in good time and that transitions are smooth and positive.
