Beyond Business Ownership Webinar Series
For each and every business owner, the question of transition is one of when rather than if. As with any change, being properly prepared can help to increase the chances of success and reduce the stress and challenges posed by the unknown. In our new series of webinars you will hear leading specialists across the private wealth space share their thoughts and experiences to help make you feel more prepared for the next stage in your life.
Passing on your business within the family
Passing on a business within a family can enhance an existing legacy (or create a new one). However, if managed incorrectly, it can undo a lifetime’s (or even generations of) achievement. In this fifth webinar of the Beyond Business Ownership series, our expert panel tackles this emotive subject. The breadth of topics covered include: how soon should you involve the next generation in your business? When is it appropriate to bring in external management? Have you considered the culture of the business and how it might change? What direction will the next generation seek to take the business? What steps should you consider for a smooth transition?
Selling to management and employees
Selling to people you know can be more complex than you think. So in the fourth webinar from our Beyond Business Ownership series, ‘selling to management or employees’, our panel of experts shed some light on the most common issues arising with in-house exits, as well as sharing their knowledge on the types of businesses suitable for Management Buyouts (MBO) and Employee Ownership Trusts (EOT) and practicalities around the exit processes.
