Frequently asked questions.
Answers to your questions, every step of the way.
Ideally, succession planning should begin 5-10 years before any anticipated transition. Early planning provides time to develop and implement strategies, prepare successors, and optimize business value.
We take a holistic approach that considers both business needs and family relationships. This includes facilitating family discussions, creating fair processes, and developing solutions that maintain family harmony while ensuring business success.
Successful succession plans combine clear leadership transition strategies, fair valuation methods, tax-efficient transfer mechanisms, and stakeholder communication plans. They should be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining core objectives.
We use multiple valuation methods and consider various factors including market conditions, industry trends, and business-specific elements. Our goal is to establish a fair value that works for all parties while optimizing tax efficiency.
