Succession planning is a critical element in any business.

When first starting a business, the owner(s) should take into consideration how they will exit the business. The aim of all businesses is to ultimately allow the owners to retire, pass the business on to family or staff, or to sell the business to fund their retirement.

If this is the ultimate goal, then the business should be run with that aim in mind.

Succession planning allows the business to identify the process towards exit and overcome some of the potential hurdles along the way. You can never start too early with succession planning.
