How does it work?

Transition planning involves multiple steps for making a smooth transition. It would start with the evaluation process which would include things like –

  1. Determining the duration of the transition process. Transition cannot be an overnight thing. You cannot just wake up on a fine morning and decide to pass on your business and wealth to your successor.
  2. You need to first choose whether you want to pass on the business to your family members or sell it to a third party. If you think your children are not interested enough in the business, you can sell the business off to a third party too.
  3. You can also choose any of your employees as well whom you think is deserving enough to run your business.
  4. Once the successor is decided, he or she needs to be groomed for the business. They need to understand the value of the business. The successor needs to preserve and protect the value of the business and try to promote the same.
  5. If you are selling the business, then you need to find out the real value of the business. You must also consider how much wealth your family would need to maintain the same lifestyle you were providing running the business.
  6. You need to guide your successor about the control they are going to have on the business activities, and how they can exercise their powers.
  7. Finally, one of the most important parts is the preservation of assets, wealth, and estate which is also a major part of transition planning.
