In this episode:
Entrepreneurs who grew up in a family business form their identities around it. So when approaching retirement, they often delay the transfer and succession process. Additionally, these business owners struggle to establish their end goals for the company and themselves. How can you reconcile identity loss and define your post-transition objectives to plan effectively?
Transition planning advisor Donald Bielen instructs entrepreneurs to consider the individual and collective benefits of business succession. These may include enhanced quality of life and relationships or untapped potentials for the future. The succession planning process involves creating a group of trusted advisors who can help you develop a systematic, comprehensive approach to evaluating viable options for the transfer. It’s critical to ensure the professionals you acquire are experts in their field so they can provide adequate knowledge and insights.
In this episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit invites Donald Bielen, Principal of Perkins & Co, to speak about business succession and transfer planning processes.
