So that things go on as you wish
A family business is a generational project. This means not only that several generations are involved but also that it is intended to operate successfully through the generations. Influencing factors like the market, competition, target groups, opportunities, risks, strengths and weaknesses combine with another key parameter: the family.
Succession planning is one of the owner’s biggest and most difficult tasks. We’ll help you overcome it. Not only does this involve deciding on the right model and the right candidate or candidates, but also finding suitable solutions for knowledge sharing and for financing. And, above all, it involves early planning.
Pension provision in family businesses
Pensions are a key issue for owners of family businesses. We’ll be happy to discuss aspects like family governance, succession planning and family offices with you. We can show you why an ownership strategy is so vital and what you need to do to create one.
Is succession planning becoming an issue?
Then the first thing to do is think about these ten questions. And talk to us about them.
What’s my vision for the company?
What will I be doing in five years, in ten years?
Is our company able to deal with succession – or do we need to make changes to do this?
How do we safeguard family cohesion and our entrepreneurial spirit?
Who from the family should take on what roles in the future?
What does the family expect from the company and what does the company expect from the family?
What should we do in succession planning if there are no successors or too many candidates?
What future form of leadership fits our family model?
What’s the profile of the successor?
What do the financing, valuation, tax and legal situations look like?
