Succession Planning

When you are busy establishing, developing and expanding your business, succession planning – your strategy for bowing out of the business – is probably one of the last things you think about.

At Banks & Co, we believe that succession planning is one of the first things you need to consider.

Part of building your business now is planning for when you want to call it a day. That may seem a long way off, but the earlier you start planning the better – and that’s where we can help.

Your exit and succession plan paves the way for a smooth transfer of ownership, so that the business you’ve worked hard to build continues into the future and you achieve maximum benefit from the time and resources you have invested.

You may be hoping to leave your business to the next generation. Or you may be planning to sell up for the best possible price, to ensure a comfortable retirement.

We will work with you to review your options and put the appropriate plans in place.
For example, if you want to pass on your business to family members, they may need time to learn the ropes.

If you want to sell, you need to consider issues including valuing the business and finding a buyer, as well as how the timing of the sale could dramatically reduce your tax bill.

As part of our succession planning services, we can also help you put in place financial arrangements to help you achieve the comfortable retirement you are looking for.
