TALK: Succession Planning to Preserve a Legacy

We’ve hosted our TALK events consecutively over the last year and they have now become a regular feature in many people’s diaries.

Each one is an hour long and will feature industry-leading speakers sharing expert content on a specific theme within their field. During the session, delegates will be split off into working groups to discuss and share best practice – bringing back that much-desired networking.

What are we talking about?

Many business owners are kept awake at night by one question:

“How can my entrepreneur story end in a way which allows me to take my value, preserves the good I’ve built up, and looks after the employees?”

Traditional succession planning often doesn’t provide all the answers. However, a solution is available.

Employee ownership is the new and better way of preserving your legacy. It enables:

  • Passing on control without employees having to raise capital
  • The owner receiving a fair market value for the business

BUT: An employee-controlled business is not like other businesses. The transition of control needs time and careful planning to build a business that might just last forever.

Session details

In this session, we’ll be joined by Chris Budd who will provide an overview of how the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) works and the current position of the mergers and acquisition market for businesses.

This event will be done in our usual format, including breakout rooms giving delegates the opportunity to share their own thoughts and opinions. There will be a Q&A session conducted, allowing for any burning questions to be put to Chris.

This event is suitable for owners and employees of IFA businesses, but also for all advisers and paraplanners who need to know how the EOT works in order to create financial plans for clients.
