Preparations within the Company

As an entrepreneur, managing director and shareholder, the topic of succession planning is an indispensable part of company management. Regardless of whether you are aiming for an internal or external succession, it is important to make detailed and long-term preparations. This is the basis for your sustainably successful company succession.

The question of whether your company is ready for succession can be answered on the basis of a number of prerequisites:

Long-term and transparent financial structure
Organisational structure with distributed responsibility and decision-making authority
no investment and change backlog and
the motivations, expectations and goals of all those involved are known and clearly communicated
