Is it time to step out of the management or day-to-day running of your business?   Beyond Business is a free and confidential service that provides advice and support to business owners in the Otago/Southland region looking to take that next step. 

Succession planning involves developing a plan to exit your business and pass on the reins to someone else. It can take time to find the right person and ensure they are willing, able and ready to take over. Our Beyond Business Advisor will help you kick off your succession planning and explore issues and concerns such as:

“There is no point in planning life beyond business when I have to focus on everyday things like meeting payroll and collecting debts.”

“I don’t know what I’d do if I wasn’t running the business – it’s what I do.”

“My family are involved in the business – what would happen to them if I pull out?”

“My staff have become close friends – I can’t let them down.”

“I have talked to one of my children about taking over the business one day but I’m not sure f they are still interested or could afford to buy it.”

In addition, this website provides resources and links to business professionals who can help you plan for exiting your business.
