Business owners sometimes say, “My business is not complex or big enough to warrant a written succession plan.” But quite often this is not the case – when a plan is implemented, its value is maximized even before it is truly needed. Think about it. If we do not worry about creditor protection until there is a known creditor threatening to sue, or we do not plan for the succession of the business until there is a medical emergency, fewer planning opportunities may be available. Our free guide, "Business Succession Planning" offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you navigate this important process.
