Succession Planning for Family-Owned Businesses
​
As a family-owned business, transitioning leadership and ownership is more than just a financial decision—it's about preserving your family’s legacy, values, and future success. At Strategos Group, we specialize in guiding families through this delicate process, ensuring that your business continues to thrive for generations to come. Our unique approach centers around comprehensive planning, expert collaboration, and a customized Weekend Retreat designed to bring everyone together for a seamless succession process.
​
The Strategos Weekend Retreat
​
At the heart of our succession planning service is a bespoke Weekend Retreat tailored to your family’s needs. We bring together your key advisors—lawyers, accountants, brokers, and other financial experts—to facilitate a structured yet relaxed environment where decisions are made, and future leaders are prepared. This immersive experience allows all parties to align on the business’s future while addressing personal and professional goals.
​
By the end of the weekend, you will leave with a clear succession plan, defined roles, and actionable steps to ensure smooth execution.
Here is our Roadmap
From Initial Consultation to Succession Execution
​
At Strategos Group, we follow a detailed and collaborative approach to succession planning, ensuring every step is handled with care:
-
Initial Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your family’s business, goals, and concerns. During this meeting, we identify the need for succession and the optimal timeline for transition. -
Defining Timing and Rationale
Together, we’ll establish the reasons for succession, define your desired outcomes, and assess the readiness of key individuals to take on leadership roles. This step ensures everyone involved understands the why behind the transition. -
Expert Collaboration and Retreat Planning
We coordinate with your team of experts, including legal advisors, financial planners, accountants, and brokers, to ensure all technical aspects of the transition are covered. Our Weekend Retreat is scheduled and customized to your needs, where we address governance, financial strategies, and legacy planning. -
Facilitating Communication and Coordination
Communication is key to a successful transition. We ensure all stakeholders, including family members and external advisors, are aligned on the succession plan and prepared to execute their roles post-transition. -
Execution and Follow-Up
Once the transition plan is finalized, we guide you through the execution, making sure all legal, financial, and operational steps are properly implemented. After the succession is complete, we offer follow-up services to address any post-succession challenges that may arise.
