Succession Planning
Protect the value you’ve built and plan for what comes next.
A successful transition requires more than a change in ownership.
It requires careful planning to protect value, support continuity and ensure the future direction of the business aligns with your goals.
Andersen helps business owners and families navigate succession planning with a combination of financial insight, strategic advice and practical support. Whether transitioning ownership to the next generation, preparing for a sale or preserving a family legacy, we help you develop a plan designed around your objectives.
How we help
Developing your succession strategy
We work with you to understand your goals, assess your options and develop a succession strategy and pathway that considers ownership, timing, value, roles and responsibilities, funding models, and future outcomes.
Business value and transition planning
Understanding the value of your business is an important part of succession planning. We provide valuation insights and advice to support fair and informed transition decisions, and to provide guidance on valuation drivers in your business.
Family business succession
Transitioning a family business involves unique financial, operational and personal considerations. We help families navigate ownership changes while preserving relationships, values and long-term objectives. Family succession is often the hardest, so it is vital to plan, document and manage everyone’s expectations during the process, and after the event, as family will outlast the transaction.
Ownership transition and exit planning
Whether transitioning ownership internally, preparing for a sale or considering alternative pathways, we provide guidance to help ensure a smooth and successful transition.
Family wealth and legacy planning
For private clients, succession planning can extend beyond business ownership to protecting wealth, supporting future generations and aligning financial decisions with family goals. Developing a family strategic plan and wealth creation plan is often as important as developing a business succession plan.
