For businesses that involve family members or long-term relationships, succession planning can be an emotionally difficult decision. Planning for leaving or disposing of a business isn’t a simple task, but an effective business succession plan should be considered years in advance to ensure the value of the business is kept intact.

Among the topics to be discussed are

• The importance of determining value
• The transition process - planning for the future 
• Transitions involving non-active family members
