Succession Planning: Preparing for the Unexpected
Having succession planning in place with a contingency is critical to the survival of your business. Join the ACA on Tuesday 6 October 2020 for a special presentation on Succession Planning from Daniel Orrell from Planned Life Cover. BOOK NOW!
With over 81% of Australia’s business owners planning to retire in the next 10 years, transferring over $3 trillion in wealth, the need for succession planning in SME business becomes critical. But what happens when the ‘plan’ doesn’t go to plan?
Business owners are key to the success of any business, but so few have a contingency in place for when things go wrong.
This presentation takes you through real life cases where businesses have been severely impacted by the sudden death or disability of key stakeholders and will provide you with essential considerations when it comes to identifying the risks within your practice and solutions to mitigate against them.
Some key questions to be discussed:
- What would happen to your practice in the event of a premature death?
- How would surviving shareholders pay for your shareholding?
- What if a key person in your succession planning became unable to work again?
- Do you have key person or business life insurance?
- Are there ways other than insurance to fund a contingency plan?
- What is a buy/sell agreement?
Without a plan, families could be stuck with the huge burden of trying to unravel the complexities of your practice and its financials.
