Course Description

You’ve built a successful business and are ready to move on, either to a new venture or to a well-deserved retirement.

Now what?

Have you considered what happens when you desire not to continue to work?

Have you ever considered your exit strategy?

Business owners rarely conduct effective succession planning and knowledge transfer. In fact, 60% of second-generation leaders fail. 90% of third-generation leaders fail. To make matters worse, the majority of retiring owners have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their companies. If their businesses fail, owners' payments often stop and the owner's retirement plans are dramatically altered. This online CPE course focuses on ensuring the company will continue successfully.

Only 50 percent of business owners have a written succession plan in place. Worse yet, there are some that might even be in line such as a son, daughter friend or spouse and they do not even know they are considered.

Best-practice organizations use succession planning to not only prepare for potential leadership challenges but they also rely on such plans to develop and maintain the strong leadership that's required to grow and keep pace with changes in their business, industry, and the overall marketplace.
