Succession is the process of transferring ownership and leadership of a business to a successor. It focuses on ensuring a smooth transition and long-term sustainability of the business. This involves identifying potential successors, developing their leadership skills, creating ownership transfer strategies, and navigating financial and legal considerations.
Succession Planning is more about recruiting and retaining than it is about selling.
Succession planning at its core is entity driven while continuity planing in essence is client focused at it's core. While succession planning will incorporate continuity planning a continuity plan doesn't need to incorporate a succession plan.
While many advisors associate succession planning with selling it is much more in reality associated with recruiting, training and development of the next generation team.
Succession planning can be centered on the continuation of the business and the employee minority partners continuation in the business, or it can be to continue as it is being sold to a pre-determined continuity partner peer.
You can have partners in equity plan models or you can have key people with phantom or synthetic equity that only has a payoff in the end or on a vested schedule.
Continuity planning is universally essential and for a minority succession planning is also beneficial.
SuccessionBox Plans Are Easy to Create
Succession Planning Myth: Your clients are always better off staying with your successor.
In the case of death or disability there would be many scenarios where an advisor's clients would be better off with a 30 year veteran peer with an established support team who acquires the practice than the 7 year experienced internal advisor who was being trained to be the eventual successor. Prepare contingency scenarios where a succession plan has to be implemented unexpectedly to soon.
Succession planning can be centered on the continuation of the business from employee minority partners purchase and continuation in the business, or it can continue as it is being sold to a pre-determined continuity partner peer.
