Succession of family-owned companies and personal wealth attract the additional challenges around personal issues and family dynamics. An early start to the succession process is often the key to success.
An early start can often be the key to success.
For a business, working without a succession plan can invite disruption, uncertainty and conflict, placing future competitiveness and wealth at risk.
