How Succession Planning Can Benefit Your Brisbane Business
Brisbane-based businesses who prepare a thoughtful succession plan commonly experience a greater sense of security as they transition into retirement, while also increasing the likelihood of long-term success for the business.
Businesses with succession plans are more likely to:
- Have a more positive future outlook
- Retain high-performing staff
- Have higher sales and profit growth during transition
- Achieve the business owner’s retirement goals
Business owners in Brisbane often consider the implications that their retirement will have on their business, but simply lack the time or means to devise an effective succession planning strategy. In addition to a lack of expertise, this can have serious ramifications to the long-term outcome of the business.
Process For Our Succession Planning Brisbane Service
We understand that each Brisbane business possesses distinct qualities, which necessitate their succession planning strategy to be specifically tailored to their idiosyncrasies. While our services take these factors into consideration, you may find our typical process outlined below:
1. Initial consultation & information gathering
During the initial work phase, the focus is on comprehending the business, its key assets for success, owners’ retirement goals, and succession timing. This begins with an introductory consultation and information collection from the owners.
2. Identify potential successors
The review involves assessing the existing operational setup, and creating an ideal long-term structure after retirement. Additionally, we evaluate internal skills to pinpoint gaps, and aid in recruiting external successors if necessary.
3. Valuation
We assess your current business, providing insights into its valuation and associated risks upon your retirement. This enables the development of contingency plans to effectively mitigate these potential risks.
4. Structuring the succession plan
We offer advice on ideal organisational structure, succession timing, retaining key employees, remuneration, financing, and share transfer methods. Additionally, we collaborate with your tax advisors to create a tax-efficient ownership transfer strategy.
5. Execution
We support you in creating and implementing essential documents, such as term sheets, employment and shareholder agreements, while also helping with financing arrangements and facilitating share transfers.
