Understand how to let your company continue it’s growth into the future

Succession planning is a very complex process and not one that should be considered overnight. As a business owner you have invested many long hours into the success of your company and you likely want to see that success continue, regardless of who steps into your role. Have you considered who that person might be? Perhaps it is a valued employee or family member, or an interested buyer? What is the value of your business and how do you determine that?

A trusted business advisor and financial planner are essential to a smooth transition plan. The Business Help Centre of Middlesex County can meet with you individually to help you answer your succession planning questions and plan for the future.
