- New Blog Post Alert!Timelines: 3 Ways Business Owners Should Look at Succession PlanningBusiness owners are urged to develop succession plans so their companies will pass on to the next generation, or another iteration of ownership, in an optimal manner. But, as many learned during the pandemic, life comes at you fast. That’s why succession planning should best be viewed from three parallel timelines: 1) Long term; focus on identifying and mentoring a successor, as well as strategizing how to fund your retirement and structure your estate plan. 2) Short term; if retirement or another opportunity becomes imminent, look more at selling the company or even liquidating. 3) In case of emergency; be prepared for a crisis that may incapacitate you.If you have inquiries or wish to explore further information regarding Succession Planning, kindly visit our website through the provided link.https://bit.ly/4cchr9b 3
