Business succession planning, the process of measuring business value and assuring the future growth and success of your company.

100,000 UK businesses a year cease to trade due to lack of business succession. This means many owners only get ‘boot sale’ prices for a lifetime’s work. If you, as the founder, are essential to the day-to-day operation of your business, then you need to identify and train your successors now!

For family owned businesses the statistics are just as frightening! Only 35% of successful family businesses survive through second generation and of those only 20% survive through the third generation.

Consider the implications of NOT planning for succession!

• You could jeopardise the future & value of the business;
• You could jeopardise the wealth required for retirement;

A key reason for lack of action is that business owners are so involved in the day-to-day issues of running their companies. The process of planning for succession and passing control onto others often stays on the back burner…. until it’s too late!

Here at William Battle Limited we have designed TRANSFER to deal specifically with these issues. Through a comprehensive programme aimed at both business owners and future leaders, TRANSFER works with companies to tackle the issues head on and implement a practical succession plan that will deliver a smooth transition from one generation of leader to the next.
