Business Succession Planning

Business succession planning is a set of processes that company owners use to determine how they will transfer ownership to a new individual or group. A business succession plan accounts for numerous legal, financial and operational factors that streamline the transition between owners. The factors and their intersections can be complex, so hiring a business succession planning lawyer is common. A business succession planning attorney can guide the owner to the most pragmatic choices for the situation and execute the legal processes that finalize the transactions involved.
