Succession and transition
Succession and transition
Whether you've built your business from the ground up, or carried on a proud family legacy, inevitably there comes a time to hand the business onto the next generation, or exit. Will you be ready?
We start with you and your family
The process of business ownership change can be difficult and emotional. Without a structured process and expert guidance, it can be difficult to know where to start.
We start by understanding all the key people involved. By taking a people-first approach, we can ensure we have a shared, and deep understanding of your stakeholders' motivations, values, and objectives.
We can then guide you through a structured process to form a clear plan of action, with consideration five key pillars:
Based on these pillars, the team at PKF will work with you to guide you through the process of transitioning wealth and business ownership.
We will help you develop important plans for your future, including a business plan, succession plan, retirement plan, and an estate plan, all designed to ensure a smooth and equitable transition of assets and ownership, while preserving your legacy.
And we can help you to successfully execute these plans, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the process.
Steve Meyn, Chairman of PKF Australia, describes our approach to wealth transition
"There's a people aspect to wealth transition - a critical component - that often gets forgotten about in the wealth transition process, hence why many transition plans don't work successfully."
