You get only one chance at doing this right - learn the tools you need to understand the process and avoid frequent, common errors. The first day you open your doors for business, you should be planning for succession. Failing to plan properly for succession can be costly, both financially and personally. However, with adequate time and proper planning, succession planning can be accomplished easily and profitably. Your plan could include: selling, transitioning to heirs or merging with a competitor.

This briefing will enable you to navigate through the process and better understand the various parties involved with a succession plan: lawyers, accountants, investment advisors and financial institutions.

Other topics that will be discussed include:

Business planning

Family succession planning (and the unique issues associated with this type of plan)

Internal sales

Employee purchase

Management buy-out

Financial arrangements

External sales

Liquidation

Phantom stock plans

Business valuations
