Frequently Asked Questions
What is business future planning?
Business future planning involves considering what you want to happen to your business in the years ahead and putting the appropriate legal and commercial arrangements in place. This could include planning for succession, a change in ownership, investment, a management buy-out or eventually selling the business.
When should I start planning for the future of my business?
It’s never too early to start thinking about the future of your business. Planning well in advance gives you more time to consider your options, address potential issues and put appropriate legal arrangements in place without being pressured into making decisions.
What happens to my business if I retire or can no longer run it?
The answer will depend on your business structure, ownership arrangements and your individual circumstances. Succession planning can help you decide who should take over the business, how ownership will be transferred and what should happen to your interests if you’re no longer able or willing to run it.
Do I need a succession plan for my business?
A succession plan isn’t a legal requirement, but it can provide valuable clarity about what should happen to your business when you step away. It can help reduce uncertainty for shareholders, directors, employees and your family, while making it easier to manage a future change in ownership.
Can you help me plan an exit from my business?
Yes. Our Corporate & Commercial solicitors can advise on the legal aspects of preparing your business for an eventual sale or other exit strategy. Depending on your circumstances, this could involve a business sale, management buy-out, management buy-in or another change in ownership.
