Succession planning is looming as a major issue for business owners now and in the coming decade. The overall lack of preparedness of these owners is concerning and will have an impact on their future financial well being and the value to be realised from their business when they are ready to retire.

One of the key stakeholders in the successful realisation of a succession plan is your financier.
