Passing the Baton!
The successful transfer of a business is often the key to a comfortable retirement yet each year an estimated 100,000 businesses simply fade away because no one wants to take them on.
While both buyers and sellers tend, perhaps rightly, to place an empahsis on past financial performance this seminar looks at non-financial factors that may give a better indication of future potential. We will argue that addressing cultural issues and creating appropriate internal and external structures are important elements in preparing a business for sale or transfer.
We draw on first-hand research conducted over three years at the UEA to look at practical ways to make more of a success of succession.
