It is a family dinner in Lapeer County and your daughter mentions, half joking, that she might want to run the business someday. Your son goes quiet, your spouse looks at you, and you realize you have never talked about who takes over, or how.
Succession planning brings that conversation into the open with a plan. We help you decide who could lead and when, build their skills on a timeline, set how ownership and money change hands and work with your attorney and CPA on the legal and tax side.
The next dinner is easier. Everyone knows the plan, your successor is learning the role while you are still there to teach, and the team and customers see a steady handoff instead of a surprise.

We meet with you, family and key leaders to understand hopes, fears and expectations.
We weigh the options, family, managers, a buyout or a sale, and agree on direction.
We create a development plan and timeline so the next leader is ready when the keys change hands.
We work with your attorney and CPA on agreements, financing and tax timing.
What we report every month: Successor development milestones, Decisions and responsibilities handed over, Legal and tax steps completed, and Business results through the transition.
Succession planning answers who will lead and own the business after you, when it will happen and how. It covers the leadership side, training a successor, and the ownership side, how shares and money change hands. It also covers what happens if you are suddenly unable to work.
Family transfers work best when roles are earned, expectations are spoken and siblings who are not in the business are treated fairly in other ways. Gifting, selling or a mix of the two all have tax effects, so your CPA and estate attorney need to be part of the plan early.
A management buyout sells the business to the people already running it, which keeps the culture and customers steady. Since managers rarely have the cash, buyouts are often funded with seller financing, an SBA loan or payments over time, which we help structure with your advisors and lending partners.
Cost depends on how many people are involved, the complexity of ownership, how long the handoff will take and how much successor coaching you want. Our fee is fixed, by project or by month, and it sits apart from your attorney and CPA bills.
The hardest part is often the first talk. Start by sharing what you want for the business and for yourself, then listen. A neutral facilitator can help families and partners say what they really think without it turning into an argument.
Common, but an illness or sudden exit leaves the family and team scrambling.
Legal documents are essential, but they do not train a successor or prepare the team.
A plan that covers both the people and the ownership side, built with your attorney and CPA.
