10 Succession Strategies®

  1. Personal and Estate Profile (PEP) - Complete a comprehensive information gathering and planning tool. Provides a written document that summarizes key information and serves as a reference guide for your family and advisors.

  2. Business Financial Analysis - Provides a thorough review of the current financial and organizational health of your business. The result is a written and comprehensive summary and recommendation that brings together the relevant organizational, financial, legal, and tax information in one easy to use reference guide.

  3. Family and Business Mission Statements - Clarify family and business values. Align interests of all stakeholders and bring vision and reality into congruence. Facilitate a family meeting to create mission statements for the family and the business.

  5. Wealth Enhancement - Develop financial strategy to ensure retirement security for owners and retain family wealth for future generations. Provide written recommendations for investment, retirement, and estate planning programs.

  6. Successor Analysis - Determine viability of an internal succession. Interview owners, family members (inside and outside of business), non-family management, and key employees in order to identify strengths, weaknesses, and leadership capabilities.

  7. Successor Development - Assist with clarification of successor criteria. Produce written guidelines for the consideration, training, and choosing of successor candidates.

  8. Advisor Coordination - Create follow up strategy with advisors and stakeholders to obtain buy-in for family objectives. Develop accountability goals and task timelines for all parties involved in succession process.

  9. Quarterbacking - Track and document progress of advisors and stakeholders in completion of responsibilities. Provide a monthly report recapping tasks, deadlines, and progress towards implementation of succession strategies.

  10. Board of Directors - Utilize the board to maintain perspective, provide a "reality check" for management, guard against stagnation, and ensure a steady flow of new ideas for the business. Facilitate the creation and initial meeting of an outside board of directors.
