Succession Planning

Succession planning ensures management succession within a business by identifying suitable successors for key positions at an early stage and preparing them for the post. Family businesses usually deal with succession planning at an early stage. Most family businesses attach great importance to passing on their legacy and securing the business for future generations in the long term. Accordingly, it is important to identify suitable successors at an early stage who have the necessary industry knowledge on the one hand and the necessary training on the other.
